    Many Black screen problems on forum.

    Recommend using installation template. Also exactly where are you setting 120dpi option.

    More info please

    Thanks

    Hi there

    I have set the 120 dpi setting in the normal windows xp display settings - under advanced properties.

    i will try the latest svn and post results using the bug template if its still not working.

    thanks

    120dpi - no TV

    Hello,

    I experienced the same on my XP MCE 2005. 120dpi fonts for the desktop and nothing in fullscrenn mode works, 96dpi and everything is fine in fullscreen.

    This needs a bug report, I think.

    Best regards,

    Joerg

    This needs a bug report, I think.

    Seems to be a limit of Directx, as since been found, so unfortunately MP does not work under 120dpi settings because of this.

    There is a later post explaining more but cannot find it.

    Regards

    Thank you for the fast reply. But why does MP fail when MCE 2005 works in 120dpi. Well anyway, will play around with MP.

    Regards,

    Jörg

    I have Vista Ultimate 32Bit with 120dpi set. I dont have problems with normal videos, only with DVDs. maybe I should try revert to see if it fixes the issue.

    I also have this issue when viewing full screen with 120dpi set. The small preview windows render fine however.

    I'm using svn--06-10-2007--01-01-Rev14843
