Mike,
I had the same problem at first, but then found the trick. First, delete any failed custom resolutions from PowerStrip. Then, with your screen set to 1024x768, go to the page where you create custom resolutions. Check the "Lock total geometry" box. Then enter the number of scanlines you want in the height box (576 is what you'll probably want for 16:9). Then uncheck the "Lock total geometry" box and hit the "Add new resolution" button.
This effectively sets you up with a screen of 1024x576, but the video signal is identical to the (working) 1024x768 signal. Only the blanking is affected.
I actually use these resolutons instead of YXY to get the ATI player to "zoom" non-anamorphic and 1.66:1 movies. I normally keep the desktop at 1024x576 for most stuff, but when I play a non-anamorphic movie, I switch it back to 1024x768. I also created a 1024x720 mode to play back 1.66:1 movies.
Hope this helps!
