Horrible Video Corruption

Post by GotAMD »

As the title says, I'm getting horrible video corruption in Windows Media Player after entering/exiting fullscreen mode. It doesn't occur before I enter fullscreen mode, but after I exit, the screen corruption continues until I exit WMP completely. This is what I'm talking about:

Does anyone have any idea why this would happen? I'm using the latest G-Force (3.5.4 (966) ) downloaded yesterday. It happened with 3.5.1 too. I completely uninstalled the previous version before installing this new version. My video card is a GeForce 6800GT with the latest nVidia drivers (Forceware 84.21) and everything else about my system seems fine. I play a lot of games, so I would know if I was having graphical artifacts or problems with other applications. G-Force seems to be the only one.

Based on the screenshot, you're running WMP11 Beta and Vista Beta. Unfrotuntely, it's too much for me to troubleshoot a problem like this when we're talking about two beta products. WMP11 is supposed to go final any day now, and when that happens, I will download it and do official G-Force testing on it and post to this thread if I fix anything.

Also, G-Force 3.5.5 fixes some minor stuff for WMP, so that may have an impact (although this is less likely).

Actually it's WMP 10 on Windows XP SP2 (that's Yahoo Widgets running to tell me the weather).

However, I just noticed that when I'm not running Yahoo Widgets I don't have the problem ;) They must be somehow conflicting (though it only happens when I enter fullscreen mode in G-Force. It's fine before that.).

Heh, ok... In that case then, let's see how 3.5.5 works for you and we'll take it from there.

It's got to have something to do with Yahoo Widgets...I don't know what, how, or why, but that's the problem.

I really dislike WMP 10 for some unkown reason it takes way to long when changing tracks { like 3-4 1000'ths} that bugs me ! I'm not sure why its doing this as I'm pretty sure track changes should be imediate.

I've looked over the settings and saw no way to have gapless playback.

My comp is fully updated and is working fine, I can only conclude that WMP10 is the culprit

Any change w/ G-Force 3.5.5?
