so I have a mac mini(intel duo), and I recently installed vista on it so I could use it as a pvr with media center. Anyways, I go to hook it up to my tv (DVI --> HDMI)and some of the taskbar gets cut off along with some more of the screen. The graphics utility that intel supplies sucks and does not give you many options. I have the res set at 720p and my tv does not offer horizontal/vert image adjustment. Is there a utility I can download that I can use to adjust this for me?

Here are my specs

Mac Mini (core duo NOT core2)
Vista ultimate
DVI to HDMI cable
Graphics-- intel 945gm chipset, 950GMA
tv- panasonic lcd w/ 720p

I have also installed the latest drivers, which dont seem to do anything

so after doing some more research, I found out that the problem is overscan. If anyone knows how to turn this off that would be great
