PC DVD playback resolution problem

[nolanmcdonnell]

I have just brought a brand new P4 desktop. It has a Sony DVD rom, PowerDVD, 17 inch LCD screen and a 64 Meg GE Force MX video. Now I have a nice home theatre system with a 43inch TV etc, but want to occasionally watch DVDs on the desktop. I find the resolution poor thought when I go to full screen mode. It becomes very pixilated (?the right word for what I am seeing). I have the LCD screen resolution set to max as per the instruction for this. Is this resolution normal? If not has anybody any ideas what I should do to fix it?
Thanks

"I have the LCD screen resolution set to max as per the instruction for this. Is this resolution normal?"

You haven't stated what "this resolution" is - Probably 1280x1024.

Try setting it to 1024x768 or 800x600...

Thanks-will try that. It is set to the highest resolution so I will try decreasing it and see if it works.
