Default Screen flickers black in and out in menus

Hi there,

Before filing an official bug report I wanted to make sure I don't have some settings messed up!

In MediaPortal 1 RC3, whenever I do some scrolling in de GUI, for example the main menu or TV guide, my screen goes black randomly (or at least I don't know when it happens). So if I press down in the TV guide a couple of times it'll turn black and come back.

Does anyone have the same problem and know how to fix it?

Regards,

Kees.

Are you using tv out? If yes then try to force display drivers to see the tv cable always connected. At least some Nvidia drivers have causing tv to blank briefly when swiching between exclusive and non-exclusive directx modes.
