Well I found the correct version of the drivers, checked the display
information from Vista's Device Manager, and sure enough have the 174.74
drivers working. I went to the Control Panel from Nvidia, selected "Change
flat panel scaling" and selected "Use NVIDIA scaling" instead of the
previously selected "Use my display's built-in scaling."
After clicking "Apply" and closing the Nvidia Control Panel, the setting
reverts back to "Use my display's built-in scaling." I tried several times
but can't get the setting to stick. Am I doing something wrong or is this
some kind of error I can blame on the beta version of the drivers?

There are 4 versions of the 174.74 Beta drivers at the Nvidia Website for.
6,7,8 xxx cards apparently you did not download the correct ones for your
card and for your operating system.

Okay good thought, but I switched out to the 6200 and then downloaded the
174.74 drivers, clicked install only to see the error "could not locate
any
drivers that are compatible with your current hardware." <a
href="http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_174.74_whql.html";>Link</a>
to
Nvidia's website about the 174.74; the 6200 isn't listed as supported :(
Anything else I could try to get this working???

Website along with the control center user guide.
174.74 has the ability to use custom resolutions or custom timings to
shrink(underscan) the output from the graphics card.

Well if you have some suggestions for NVIDIA cards, I have my 6200
pci-e
card
sitting right here, I'll pop it in and mess around w/ the Control Panel
options if you think it would solve the issue. Thanks for all your
support
so
far,

Apparently ATI and NVIDIA handle underscan compensation defiantly. ATI
is
only doing it between your desktop and your graphics card input and
not
from
any sources to the graphics card to the graphics card output.
I use a Nvidia card so regretfully I can not offer any more
suggestions.

Yes I had been using VGA up until a few days ago, and switched back
for
a
test after reading your post (hadn't tested it on new ATI HD 2400
card)
but
it still doesn't fix the Media Center videos when played. The
overscan
options in the ATI Control Panel adjust the display on my desktop
but
do
nothing for the videos when they're played in Media Center. I also
messed
with almost every other option in the ATI Control Panel and I didn't
find
anything that made the video resize when played through Vista's
Media
Center....

HDTVs normally overscan the inputs over these HDMI/DVI in order to

standard CRT TV.
If your HDTV has a VGA interface use that for PC desktop
applications
since
normally VGA interfaces are not overscanned since the VGA interface
is
designed for PCs.
The latest card drivers from the Nvidia and ATI Websites have
overscan
compensation capabilities so you can shrink the output so that when
it
is
expanded/overscanned it fits properly.

I have set my Vista operating system to 1360 x 768 and also setup
Vista
Media
Center's Display Calibration options to use 1360 x 768
resolution,
but
when I
watch a video it's hugely oversized and doesn't fit. When I watch
the
sample
video of the billiards players for example, the video isn't tall
enough
or
wide enough to see everything.
I have tried a Nvidia 6200 pci-e card and am currently using a
ATI
Sapphite
HD 2400XT (both had newest drivers) and using a DVI-HDMI cable
for
connection. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
