My cousin is over for a LAN party and we can't get this working right. We plugged his machine into a TV, and only part of the XP desktop is showing. How can we get this thing to display the whole screen? The resolution won't go below 1152x864 for some reason.

Any ideas on this? I'd appreciate it. thanks!

Another thought:

The desktop isn't that important. Running games is. The problem is, he can't even run a Direct3D test in dxdiag.. it says it can't go into 640x480 16-bit mode. And that's the odd thing.. if he goes into 640x480 or 800x600, it's 4-bit graphics. Once he goes higher (1152x864), it can go into 16- and 32-bit mode.

If anyone has any way to fix this.. let me know please, ASAP! Maybe we should try a bigger TV? This one is probably a 17 or 19"

Thanks

Wooo! Actually we just tried the 27.42 drivers.. works like a charm! Looks like this was a known problem that nVidia fixed
