EEHHHH FFFFFFFFFKKKKKKKK My Big Picture kit arrived today, ~8 days in transit after I'd paid for it. Pieces are missing. My video card needs to be able to put out at 640 X 480 resolution (it doesn't). Dammit, I'm getting sick of this #@&*%)!. The enclosed software is on a floppy designed to work w/ Windows 3.x or Windows 95. Who's got a f/$(&@!^ 'n floppy drive anymore. I'm running Windows XP.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
OK - Take a deep breath.
The floppy was not necessary for me. I believe it allows the remote mouse to work on older versions of Windows. Windows XP recognized the remote mouse as a serial mouse and installed it on its own. As far as your display not allowing 640x480, I am at a loss there. I've got some old and [what I consider] new computers and they all seem to start in 640x480, until Windows boots and set the resolution higher. I believe you can get 640x480 resolution SOMEHOW - Maybe a Google search is in order.
At any rate, any combination of video cards, adapters, etc you buy - at any price - will need low resolution to display on a TV - other than an HDTV, as I found out. Tube TV's are really low resolution, and show video well, but don't expect to read text.
I hope it works out for you.
