Hi Tourettes,

I downloaded and installed MPC-HC (great player btw, thanks) and tried a large selection of video formats without MP running, and all worked perfectly, so it does seem to be something running in MP that is causing the challenge.

I thought of two things - firstly, could it be my mini-display pluggin. It's only an idea, but as I am running a 7" display on the Zalman case, and this uses the second instance of the Intel G35 under Windows Device Manager, maybe it cannot power both displays well enough. I am going to try disabling this and see if it makes any difference.

The other work-around I thought might help would be running MPC-HC as an external player in the MP config - what do you think

Thanks for your help with this.

Edit - disabling the minidisplay plugin didnt make any difference - in MP the video is either corrupted with the blue lines, or sometimes has a green tinge to everything. Once MP exits, and I use MPC-HC or Windows Media PLayer, (on full screen, I should add) the films run perfectly again.

One thing I notice - sometimes when MP first starts, the first moview I watch can play properly, but if I then try and play a second movie, it's corrupted. Sometimes it is like it straight away, so it's fairly random.

Very puzzling.
