    Hi everyone,

    Hope you might be able to help. I've recently purchased an Acer 5920H (HD-DVD version).

    I've managed to get an HD-DVD playing using Play Movie (version 1.1.3224) on Acer Arcade Deluxe (Version 1.1.4706 which I believe is the current version).

    I've also managed to get HDMI out working at 1080i on our flat screen TV to show the laptop display. However, I can't get the HD-DVD to play on the flat screen TV using the HDMI cable through Play Movie. Arcade Deluxe comes up with incompatible graphics card (even though it plays fine without being hooked up to the TV).

    I'm using NVIDIA GeFORCE 8600M GS driver version 7.15.11.138 and Toshiba DVDW/HD TS-L802A ATA Device version 6.0.6000.16386 (both of which came installed with the laptop).

    Any ideas how to get this fixed?

    Thanks for your time.
