[QUOTE="markshanks, post: 155525, member: 52271"] Hi, I've just started using mediaportal, and absolutely love it. There has only been one problem... and that is that the fonts are practically unreadable (see attached). The fonts appear like this when I first start mediaportal. Very occasionally, when I return from another program launched from mediaportal, the fonts will appear normal. However, once a key is pressed to change the menu options, they again appear like this. Usually I run mediaportal full-screen. Changing to a window does not correct the problem. However, once when I changed to the window, something happened and the fonts were displayed correctly. When I then went back to full-screen, they continued to display correctly. I shut down mediaportal and restarted it, and they still looked fine. When I rebooted the computer and again started mediaportal, the problem returned. I have since been unable to reproduce the "fix", but it suggests that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with the hardware (I also have mediaportal installed on a much newer computer for experimentation (core 2 duo and ati X1900), and it works fine there. I have also tried the following without success: * change screen resolution. * change font size. * change dpi setting. * turn off font smoothing. * reduce display acceleration settings - this did not have an effect even to the point that mediaportal was no longer being rendered. * using not just the BlueTwoWide skin, but also BlueTwo and Spinsafe Resolve skins. * disabling animations and toggling the Exclusive DirectX mode in the mediaportal setup. In addition to two screen shots, I have attached the mediaportal log and the dxdiag printout from my computer (Direct X 9.0c is installed). Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
