Losing time when watching videos fullscreen on my old CRT TV.
FYI. In http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?p=1336503410 forum
thread, http://www.thesycon.de/dpclat/dpclat.exe (DPC Latency Checker) was mentioned so I tried it. I started this program with a clone of my desktop to CRT TV (640x480). Green and low results. Then, I started up a fullscreen MPEG-2 HD video. Then, things shot up with yellow and red. I stopped after a few seconds with enough datas. I exited dpclat.exe and put my display back to single display to my 19" LCD monitor (1280x1024) only. I repeated the tests, but they appeared to be similiar: http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/3...gmpeg2vide.gif and http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3854/...gmpeg2vide.gif ... What do you think? They look identical to me. The time slow down only happens in clone display mode with fullscreen videos. On 2/17/2011 6:10 AM PT, Ant typed: Hello. How come my PC/Windows' clock loses a few seconds per minute (seems to pause about every four or five seconds for about a half of a second) when I use CRT TV clone and watching videos fullscreen on my old 20" CRT TV (from 1996)? If I am not watching videos on it or use single display mode to my DVI/VGA 19" LCD monitor (1280x1024) with videos, then I have no problems. I used ATI Catalyst suite display drivers (v9.7 and v10.12) to clone to my old 20" CRT TV to show videos fullscreen. I am using an old updated Windows XP Pro. SP3, 2+ years old ATI Radeon 4870 video card (512 MB of RAM), Intel quad-core systems, etc. What's up with that and how do I fix it?

Losing time when watching videos fullscreen on my old CRT TV.
FYI: Someone, in that rage3d forum thread, suggested HPET setting in
CMOS/BIOS. I found it and disabled it since it was enabled. I also changed my KVM to a two ports to see if that helps. Both did not fix it. I am changing the CMOS setting back later when I reboot again. On 2/19/2011 8:33 AM PT, Ant typed: FYI.
