I think I eliminated a potential cable length factor and signal output problem buy running the HTPC directly to the projector with no sparklies. As soon as I put the 990 between the two...I get sparklies. The only other cable it could be is the one that I run from the HTPC to the 990. I tried using two different cables (1 m each) and both produced the same results. The cables work fine with all my other DVI sources and the 990.

I will email outlaw to see if they have any ideas. And yes, I did use the HDMI-DVI converters when running straight from the HTPC to the projector.

Thanks for responding...
