[QUOTE="Remote Possibility, post: 853768, member: 120702"] I've yet to build an HTPC but my PC is in the living room anyway. I've got an ATI HD4770 outputting 720x576 via S-video to a CRT at the other end of the room (HDTV will be bought soon I hope) and updating the Catalyst Suite to 12.2 was a disaster! Not only did it cause the shrunken fullscreen problem, but they have changed the way the system tray menu works. Instead of having immediate access to the presets (and therefore the hotkeys) that I use to switch between the TV and the monitors on my desk, I had to right click it and select Catalyst Control Centre (the only item in the menu) then wait for it to load the proper icon with the usual menu before I could enable the TV. Suffice it to say I have gone back to 12.1 and MP works properly again. I'll be reading the release notes of any future driver updates very carefully to see if there's any point installing them. I think I'll go Nvidia next time, but also look forward to running MP on a dedicated PC at some point, using a Core i5 with onboard graphics. [/QUOTE]
