Okay, We are 1/2 way there...

After modifying the MMOS.INI file and updating the Intel Graphics drivers, and changing a variety of other settings in an attempt to avoid breaking the VC250 computer into pieces, the Player Configuaration > Playback Tab is now cooperating:

Playback Mode: Custom
Full Screen Display: Adapt (there is no option to select 1366x768, but the Adapt option now FINALLY correctly detects a 1366x768xtrue colorx60hz display)

So the InfoChannel Player Configuration is now set to 1366x768, but the files don't actually PLAY at 1366x768, they play at 1024x768.

All settings that I can find anywhere on this XP Embedded machine now are set to 1366x768. Aside from my overall disappointment with XPe and the VC250 computer, I cannot figure out why this isn't working, but I should note that in the Device Manager, under Monitors there are 3 monitors listed, all identical, "Digital Flat Panel (1024x768)" but that is only the name in the device manager, there is no actual setting ANYWHERE (except some inf/ini file somewhere probably) that is set to 1024x768... I think there are 3 copies because there are 3 input slots that the blade is connected to (yes, it spans all 3 slots). I cannot update the monitor.inf file for any of these with one generated using PowerStrip. I am waiting to hear from Panasonic about getting a monitor.inf file directly from them...

If I Uninstall each of the 3 monitors from the Device Manager, then restart the machine, when it comes back up, and when IC Player automatically starts up, it PLAYS AT THE CORRECT RESOLUTION. If I close IC Player, then re-open it, it again plays at 1024x768. It ONLY works when I uninstall the 3 monitors from the Device Manager first, then restart... If I don't uninstall them first, it plays at 1024x768. Not exactly in the name of stability...

Unfortunately I cannot find a DDC2b signaling setting anywhere on the screen.

PSSSSSSS: Can anyone with know-how regarding the Pansonic VC250 (AKA NEC VC250) tell me why we started getting a voltage error on the blade computer when starting up (after BIOS, before Windows):

Warning:
The system is in unusual voltage.
The voltage error is bank0 (12v).

Yes we've been calling Panasonic to no end. This message started appearing about a month after we started using this setup, and we've been keeping the display off as much as possible because of this disconcerning error....

We have Scala IC Designer/Net Manager/Player...We also have a 50 inch Panasonic plasma with built-in computer, resolution 1366x768. The Scala Player Configuration, Under Playback, does not have an option to use the full 1366x768. The max it goes to is 1024x768. Even when I select standard and Full Screen and Adapt Resolution to Script, it does not play in 1366x768. Windows XP and everything are configured just fine at 1366x768. Flash movies at this size play fine. I'm no Scala expert, but how do I get it to play in full resolution, 1366x768? Thanks.

The Scala Website requires that JavaScript (Active Scripting) be enabled.

Please go to Tools, Internet Options under the Menus. Select the Security Tab, then Custom Level button. Then click the Enable button under Scripting / Active Scripting. Hit OK, then OK again to exit requestors. You will know it's working when you see a "More" link in the links beneath the Tabs.

You can still use the website without changing this setting, but certain features will be disabled.
