[QUOTE="dragonfly, post: 201236, member: 17600"] I read up on what instructions I could find and got Milkdrop working fine the first time I started MP and ran it. It worked well in both fullscreen and windowed mode, and I could switch between them without issues. Then I rebooted my HTPC, and now whenever I play a song, Mediaportal minimizes and a MilkDrop application pops up in the taskbar but all I get from it is a window (in about the size and location of the Milkdrop config window, by the way) full of what looks like random data. I'm thinking maybe this has something in common with the similar problems reported by others earlier in this thread. I changed nothing between having a working Milkdrop and now, all I did was reboot. Digging deeper into it, I noticed that now when I run MP in windowed mode, the viz pops up in the preview thumbnail as it should, and seems to work fine. Then i press the red button on my remote to switch to full-view and a notice pops up saying: "OUT OF VIDEO MEMORY | Window resize failed. | Often this means the application ran out of video memory. Perhaps you tried to make the window too large." I tried removing the Milkdrop ini-file and just running config and leaving it at all defaults, but now when I try to play a song in fullscreen, Mediaportal just minimizes and I can just alt-tab back. The music doesn't even start playing. In windowed mode, however, it now seems to work fine. But when I try to alt-enter to fullscreen, I once again get served the out-of-video-memory popup and music playback stops. MP gets minimized to the tray and I have to double-click it with the mouse to go into fullscreen mode. I reverted to the original .ini-file and the result was once again what I first experienced. I'm posting a screenshot for reference. My HTPC is an Athlon 64 3500+ on an Abit AV8 mobo with 1GB RAM and a GeForce 7600 GS running XP Pro SP2 and RC3 of MP. Cheers! EDIT: Added PC RAM size.
