I had an xbox as an extender, which upscaled everything to HD for my Samsung LE37M87BDX. However, my xbox broke (RRoD) and I don't have the funds to repare/replace it, So I decided to connect MCE direct. S-Video cable works fine, but picture quality is poor (not HD), so I connected up a DVI to HDMI cable, and after a bit of tinkering I can get a full 1080 desktop displayed on my TV. Videos all play fine through WMP, however, when I press the green button MCE does not display full screen. I've tried going into the display setup, and the correct 1080 resolution is an option, but if I select it, it makes no difference. MCE is only 4:3 and not full hieght.

MCE 2005 with rollup 2

ATI Radeon 9600 128mb

ATI Driver - 9-8 legacy xp32-64 dd ccc

 My thoughts are it's the graphics card/driver. Probably need to upgrade, but like I said, funds are tight (Bloody recession). Any suggestions on an upgrade would be welcomed as a last resort.

 Thanks
