weird movie display problems - with Nvidia Geforce FX Go 5700
SUBJECT: weird movie display problems - with Nvidia Geforce FX Go5700 - on a
HP Pavilion 7236 Hi all, I've got an HP laptop Pavilion 7236 that comes with an Nvidia Geforce FX Go5700. After a reinstall, I've been having some trouble finding the proper drivers for this thing, as XP did not automatically recognise them and I couldn't find them on the install discs, but in the end, I managed to find them. Problem is, my movie players start acting funny. I installed all appropriate codecs and tried installing different versions, but that doesn't change a thing. What is the problem: When I want to play a movie, in either Windows Media Player, BSPlayer or Media Player Classic, the movie stays blank (a close-to-black-kind-of-grey). It does play subtitles, it does play sounds. However, if I then open a second movieplayer, it does open the movie and displays correctly. It would seem that I would have to have one movie open in order to have a next movie display properly. I'm puzzled as to how this can come to be, and of course, how to solve it. Any insights or help on this matter would of course be dearly appreciated. -- Geroon |

If you have a TV out port it could be that somehow got set as the primary device and the overlay is only going to that port. Check the driver options.. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/ |

Seems that there was a check "Enable VMR" under my nvidia tab - "overlay settings" that I had to enable. However, this causes my hardware overlay to be disabled. I'm not sure if that is a particularly bad thing, but hey. We'll see how it runs from here. Thanks a lot! G. |
