Oh crap! I hope a speedy recovery...I too lose all interest in doing things, whatever the ailment is when sick.

I've now got this to work using a Dell Optiplex 780 with an ATI Radeon 2400 XT graphics card and Windows 10. All is well with the results bar one problem, the aspect ratio is wrong, when I slide Google across for example it's too big and I can't see the sides, same for YouTube until you select a video in full screen and then it's not too bad.
I'm not the most computer literate and was gobsmacked when after a few hitches it worked. The picture quality is awesome to be honest, I'm using an EX ITV test transmitter (fancy name for a high quality modulator). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

...that's always the case with first-builds or prototypes, often they descend into a mess due to changes/improvements, or "Opps. I dropped off there!" (A mistake). Get it electrically as you want it first, then 'tart it up' to look nice if that bothers you or you want to use it long-term, i.e. reliability. And document it so it can be easily understood and reproduced again by you or others.
Trying to reverse-engineer something you did a while ago is a headache! "Now why did I do that?" "What's that thing for?"...and so on...
