Hello,

Well, I finally got it to work! After posting messages to the
Sapphire Help forum, I found that I needed to actually move a jumper
on the card itself. Apparently it was set to PAL format instead of
NTSC format. Once I did that, I also had to apply NTSC in Catalyst.
Once this was done, I got a nice clear picture of just my wallpaper.

To change that, I had to clone the monitor display to the Secondary
display, and that finally did the trick! This is great, I'm watching
Sky News on my TV while I'm typing here and the picture is just as
clear as cable! I'm impressed!

Chris
