Parts of the window gets occasionally black, and other parts of the window appear in the wrong place. See the picture. It can be a lot worse, though. Changing codecs and renderer makes no difference. Not surprising since this occurs immediately, before any attempts to watch movies or TV are made. When I go to my Music the window is so garbled so I cannot read the titles and don't know where to click...</p><p></p><p>With the Cyberlink decoder, the TV picture is fine, however! All other programs behave normally.</p><p></p><p>I've tried this on VGA (14" LCD screen) as well as TV-out (S-Video). No difference. When I run dxdiag and try the Direct3D tests, the display is a bit faulty. Is my graphics card faulty, or is it a bad model?</p><p></p><p>Any solution would be greatly appreciated!</p><p></p><p>Thanks</p><p>hellmelt</p></blockquote><p></p>

MediaPortal done [img]http://www.andershjelm.com/MP_mess.JPG[/img] Synopsis: When I start MediaPortal the GUI flickers and blinks. Parts of the window gets occasionally black, and other parts of the window appear in the wrong place. See the picture. It can be a lot worse, though. Changing codecs and renderer makes no difference. Not surprising since this occurs immediately, before any attempts to watch movies or TV are made. When I go to my Music the window is so garbled so I cannot read the titles and don't know where to click... With the Cyberlink decoder, the TV picture is fine, however! All other programs behave normally. I've tried this on VGA (14" LCD screen) as well as TV-out (S-Video). No difference. When I run dxdiag and try the Direct3D tests, the display is a bit faulty. Is my graphics card faulty, or is it a bad model? Any solution would be greatly appreciated! Thanks hellmelt [/QUOTE]
