Setting up for Win7, LCD, and Nvidia Card??
lettuce:
I have a laptop with a ATI card in...its running windows 7 though would the offical Groovymame build work with that?

Yes, probably try with the laptop, you can even plug it to the TV and test, but testing on its screen will be enough.
For the HLSL thing, have you tested anything else or just mk? Try disabling the -changeres option in case it was enabled.
I'm seeing a problem in your system I had missed. Powerstrip seems unable to change the dotclock. If you see the logs, even if it tries different values, 148501 is always returned. That's the issue you're seeing.
PStrip: ps_set_monitor_timing(0): 1920,88,44,148,1080,4,5,36,135617,512

I'm not sure why it happens. Powerstrip warns that some cards may only have a few stable dotclock values among certain ranges. You can test if you dare with Powerstrip itself, using the custom timings window to try to alter the default dotclock (pixel clock), check if you're able to change it to some of the values above, to see if it's an issue with the card or with GroovyMAME. If you get an out of sync screen, just press enter.

OK, changeres was enabled i disabled it and HLSL still didnt work.
Regarding powerstrip, have gone into advanced timing options and have tried to change the Pixel Clock (its set at 148.500) ever time i try and change it to 135.617 for example i click on apply and it reverts back to 148.500, i cant even change the values with the up and down arrows! There isnt an option within Powerstrip that is locking this value.....i am only using the free version of powerstrip by the way
Have uploaded my mame.ini file (in txt format) to see if theres anything a miss there!

Yes, that's what I thought, unfortunately your video card doesn't allow a good variety of dotclocks for that resolution.
You can try something... Use Arcade_OSD to find a native resolution that is "genuine". To do that, set the resolution to full screen. I'd start with 1024x768. If the numbers below [xres] [yres] are the ones supposed to be (1024 and 768 in this example) that's a valid mode, then set it as your desktop mode.
Then run groovymame with the same params.

Im unable to get Arcade OSD to work in windows 7, i just get a black box where the window is supossed to for Arcade OSD and a constant egg timer for the mouse
