When I play a widescreen dvd with windvd on my regular crt, it shows the bars
at top and bottom as it should, but when the same dvd is played thru media
center, it plays in standard mode and fills the whole screen. How do I play
a widescreen dvd thru media center and show video in widescreen. I'm using a
screen resolution of 1024X728.

Use the media center zoom options.
They are accessed by pressing the i button on the remote.
There are 4 zoom settings, zoom 1 should display your content in it
correct aspect.

Thanks! That did the trick. The HP tech couldn't give a simple answer.
