So, I don't know how many people use their triple wide setup with Vista Media Center, but...

It seems that if you use VMC in fullscreen mode on most triple wide resolutions, the blue background only extends so far, and the rest is all black, and weird stuff abounds in that zone as far as the text and stuff...

Anyone know a way around this besides just reducing the screen size when using it at full? (I go back to 1680x1050, myself...)

I'm afraid I wouldn't run VMC with a 10-foot pole, I mean I don't use it at all. But I think it was designed to be used on TVs and HDTVs, and therefore probably sucks on displays wider than 16:9, since it's got its own interface and doesn't just open in a window that you can stretch at will.

That being said, I'm convinced there's always a way around. 8)

Unless you want to talk to somebody in The Witcher while playing in TH mode, right?
