I am using a Dell E-520 w/ 1.5 g Ram and a Dell 1704FPV (analog) on Intel G965 Express Chipset Family Flat Screen (17") monitor.
The Problem I am having is when I go from a smaller view of a streaming video (Any Video...Website or DVD) to a FULL screen view, The picture gets blurry and "boxy". this is "Supposed" to be a media desktop but the streaming, Full Screen, videos suck. Any ideas? Settings? Dell "Tech Support" wanted me to reinstall XP but I don't want to lose all my files!! HELP!!!!

With streaming video, it may be due to the quality of the source file. If it isn't designed for full screen viewing, it will become pixelated.

With a regular DVD, you should be able to view at full screen. What program are you using to view DVD's?

When I got the computer...and started seeing full screen problems, I tried viewing in windows media, Nero, the software program that came with the DV camcorder I have (Ulead VideoStudio 7.0) and when ever I visited a site that had streaming video (like a newschannel) I used what ever program was associated with the video and even still, when blown up to full screen...looked bad. at 1/2 screen...fine.

You could try updating the G965 drivers. Get them from here:

Dell did that already twice (Their Techs are bone heads!!) They said it may have been a poor install of the OS (they installed it at their factory BEFORE I bought the CPU) abd they wanted me to re-install XP but I am trying to avoid doing that cause I dont want to lose all my files!!
I did go to the link you sent but got an error message that the drivers are not validated for this computer...obtain the drivers from the computer manufacturer.  Thanks SqueezeBox ycry

You might have to bite the bullet and reinstall.

Before you do that, backup files and you could also use the Transfer Files & Settings Wizard to create a backup file on your desktop, then burn that to a CD.

I would runb the wizard twice - once for files and once for settings. That will give you two folders to copy to CD.

Once you've reinstalled the OS and any programs, you can then restore your files and settings using the wizard again.
