Just installed these drivers on a fresh windows xp install with my 9600 and for some reason its displaying the wrong aspect ratio on the tv , stuff that is 4:3 its showing at around 4:4 and 16:9 at about 16:12. and reason why this is? i cant even ajust it to display properly with the tools given because of the limits of the tool and me not being abl eto move the screen past a certian point in all direction. any help is apreciated.

Are you sure the screen is just not stretched properly to the maximum bounds of the screen because thats what it looks like to me.

I have the same problem!! When I use the overlay option, my 4:3 looks like 4:4. Upon further investigation, I noticed before with older drivers when outputted to TV, the resolution on the settings menu for TV would be 1024x768 or 800x600. BUT on these new drivers, it forces everything to 720x480. I think that is why TV output is messed up right now.... If there is a way to force it back to the way it was with previous drivers, it would be fine. Also when the new drivers set it to 720x480 you have no control over adjusting the video display area, thats why it looks squished from the left and right side. Hopefully there is a fix to this!
