Hi Andy,
Can you double check to see if it's a Packard Bell 1801 or
actually a Media Centre?
Is it running XP Home, Professional or XP Media Edition? To
find out, right click on My Computer, and select Properties.
If it turns out to be an XP Media edition, I think you may
need to contact S&S for further advice.
If it's XP Home or Professional, go to Control Panel,
Display, Settings Tab, Advanced button, and see what is says
for Adapter.
George.
