Hello all,

I have been doing quite a bit of reading and as much research as possible, but now I need help. I hope someone here can assist me. I have spent a bit of time working with computers but AV is new to me. I have only a little knowledge, and I appreciate that can be dangerous ;)

The setup I have is as follows...

IN72 Projector
Radeon 9250
1.4 gig pc running XP home (with 2 gig of ram)
A DVI cable running between the two and plugged into the M1-DA socket
Media Portal
Humax 900T PVR

The problem is I have no idea how to best setup all this stuff up. At present the pc is connected to the projector using a DVI cable, and the PVR is connected using a Scart RGB cable.

On the projector the images from the PVR span most of the image projected - although there is a slight border around the edge. However, from the PC I have a huge gap of a few feet!!

I have no idea how to get XP to recognise the projector as a 'monitor' - the two devices that the device manager shows up are unknown monitor or plug and play.

The radeon control centre software does recognise the IN72 as the monitor type - yet it doesnt seem to have any idea of the best resolution and offers either 800 by 600 - or something in the 1900s! It all metions HD resolutions with i and p suphixes. I am not sure if picking any of these is appropriate.

I have had a quick look on the projector and there is a service section and under HDMI DDC both HDMI and M1-DA are ticked.

I am lost now as to the way forward. My missus is making grumbling noises about the amount of money spent and picture quality.... somebody please advise!!

Thanks in advance,

John
