Hi,

Im running media portal fullscreen and using Media Player Classic 6.4.9.0 and the CCCP codec pack.

Basically whenever I come out of media portal fullscreen and go into MPC the sound plays but there is no video and the player is sort of transparent and i can see the desktop through it.

However if i run MP maximized and launch MPC everything works fine. Im assuming its something to do with DirectX acceleration which cant handle MPC and MP fullscreen together?

Any help appreciated

Not sure I am understanding what you are doing. Are you playing tv/video and then swith from fullscreen to window with ALT-ENTER? It's been reported previously that you need to stop TV/Video before doing that.

Worked it out... had to turn VMR9 Exclusive Mode off in the config...
