In the past when I produced output for a TV from an old card, the ATI All-in-One (PC), it was limited to 800x600, and that was for SVHS at that. Instead I produced at 640x480, and was able to see reasonably well on a TV set. You might try checking the manual for the card you have to see what max resolution it'll support - or reload your drivers completely and see what happens. Or reinstall Q3. -- SP Goodman aka Spud Patrol! * http://www.earthlight.net
