Re: MCE not running full screen

Thanks Doug but I cannot seem to find the right software to do this
reset. What I did do was to adjust the screen resolution to 1360 x 1024
and media center now covers the full screen. I have no idea why.
Windows itself (desktop) still appears to be 1280 x 1024 yet it says
1360 x 1024 in the properties. I am at a loss here for sure.

Still tinkering to find an answer (one that I can understand, anyway!)

Some LCD's have an auto adjust feature. Mine does for example, and it may need to be set/reset. I've got one PC where on a clean install, the video may be shifted to the left by 1/8 th of the screen initially, when using MCE in full screen mode. Telling it to Auto Adjust clears it up.

I have been searching for an answer but cannot find one. Running MCE
maximized on the desktop and it does not use the full screen. It leaves
about an inch to the right unused. If I restore it to a window I am
able to move the window around the desktop. It is as though when
maximized it does not recognize the LCD's resolution?

Anyone know how to fix this? HP D820, 1gb Mem, ATI-128mb and MCE 2002
all patched to the hilt!
