Adjusting the Desktop Display

Some tasks on the HP Digital Entertainment Center require that you leave Media Center and use the Windows XP desktop. Because Windows XP is not specifically designed for TV, some messages and dialogs may be difficult to read on some TVs.

Lowering the display resolution can make messages and dialogs easier to read by enlarging the text. This utility has three common resolutions. This utility does not change the resolution within Media Center, but raises or lowers the resolution of the Windows XP desktop display.
