[QUOTE="markuspop, post: 253017, member: 71043"] Hello, after struggling with the known issues with MP and the Xpress 1250 graphics chipset I decided to go for Vista 32, because I found many positive feedback about Vista on such an chipset/graphics card. I'm running a P2-M2A690G box from Asus. I did a fresh install of Vista 32 Ultimate with SP1 on top of it and all actual drivers for the barebone as well as the SkyStar2 DVB-S card. No other software besides the OpSystem, SkyStar2 and MP is installed. Installation of all went quite well, but watching TV with MP is a bad experience. The preview window shows stuttering video, sometimes distorted audio. In full screen mode the video stuttering ist not visible, but often I end up with a black screen after switching channels ! Audio distortion (kind of clicking) is also present in full screen mode. Additionally browsing through the TV menu is terrible slow (much slower then under XP) (this points me to some problem related with DVB-decoding). Changing the TV video and audio codecs (tried: MPV/A, DScaler, PowerDVD7 Codecs, Microsoft preinstalled, ...) seemes to influence the problem. PowerDVD codecs make it worse, MPV better, but problems with all the codecs. Note, all the hardware works fine with XP, besides the known problems with this chipset and MP, so I do not expect any hardware issues. I searched the forum, but can't find such problems specific to a Vista 32 installation. There are topics on such failures, but not Vista related and in case of my hardware there seems no special issues with Vista. Does anybody have the same experience ? Any solutions would be appreciated, seeing these problems I really think about going back to XP. Compared with that, the "flipy problem" is really a minor one ;-) Thanks, Markus [b]TV-Server Version[/b]: integrated MP 0.2.3 [b]MediaPortal Version[/b]: 0.2.3 RELEASE [b]MediaPortal Skin[/b]: Default [b]Windows Version[/b]: Vista x86, SP1 [b]CPU Type[/b]: BE-2400 [b]HDD[/b]: Hitachi 750 GB [b]Memory[/b]: 2 GB Corsair (paired kit) [b]Motherboard[/b]: P2-M2A690G [b]Motherboard Bios[/b]: latest [b]Video Card[/b]: X1250 [b]Video Card Driver[/b]: 8.352 [b]Sound Card[/b]: integrated [b]Sound Card Driver[/b]: latest [b]1.
