Are we talking about an HP m1160n Media Center PC? If so, there seems to be some dispute on whether it has a DVI connector. This article:
http://www.digitalconnectmag.com/news/printableArticle.jhtml?articleID=15990 6446 says "the unit lacks a DVI connector". But the sales page at Amazon.com says that is has DVI capability. Very strange. I can't imagine anyone wanting a MCE PC without a DVI connector.

I've never heard of a graphics card that >supports DVI without it having a DVI port which does not make sense to me. The graphics card is an nVidia GeForce FX5200XT with 128 MB of dedicated video memory while the new monitor is a 19" Dell UltraSharp 1907FP. I haven't found anything (yet) on the nVidia site that talks about the card. The monitor came with the correct DVI cable. The computer is an HP a640n and it was an HP support person who told me that it supported DVI. I don't see any DVI port on the graphics card, so maybe I was told wrong. Do you suppose.... :-) -- cheers, Stephen -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
