How would you deal with sometimes I play older movies that are in 4x3 format?

Then it'll be all the same settings but you'll have black bars on the sides right? and if the player you use has a zoom capability you could zoom or stretch it to fill the screen, if you wanted to. But you shouldn't need to change any settings to play 4x3 content. Mark mentioned changing the refresh and creating another shortcut for powerstrip if you really want to. But with old 4x3 material I'm guessing the quality isn't that great anyways, so blowing it up and having the wrong refresh rate probably doesn't make much difference. Smile

Setup another user in W7 with admin rights but the second head on the video is not driving the pj. If I go back to the original account it works fine. Any ideas, I believe it is related to PStrip.

Turn off UAC and see if the problem goes away...If you want UAC on then maybe just back it down a couple clicks.

Use the account that works?

Run Powerstrip as Admin?


I run two heads on W7 and don't have this problem, but I am an administrator (I think) - I've never really had to play with the security settings in W7 (unlike vista where I just turned them all off).

What I'm doing is setting up a simple account just to play movies, no internet,etc. To keep my sons from messing up things.
