Video problem! Making me think bout getting a new graphics card!!

Bootup05 · 03-24-2006, 06:41 PM

Hi peeps,

I have a really annoying problem with my system, I boot up and open my tv virewing app or a mpeg or whatever movie file (music video) and they work fine for a certian amount of time..But each time I keep getting this problem when I try to open a movie file up again ( tv viewing/dvd watching/music videos ) You get the music and everything but the viewing area is black and doesn't seem to respond.

I have tryed 3 different sets of drivers...1 for Inno3D and 2 from nVidia ( including there newest)

It seems to be happening after I play MTA:SA ( Multiplayer GTA San Andreas ) but I can't figure out why its happening or what I can do about it.

Once I log off and on again or put the system on standby the viewing works fine again...has me baffled

Its making me think about buying a new graphics card.

Would it be the card thats the prob?

Thanks

Also I think this problem could be linked in to the fact that I use WinTV!!!!
Once this stops working it buggers ALL video viewing up!

Kind of weird... Sounds like some software issue hogging the overlay. I also have a WinTV, but I've never had any problems with it or the software... I assume you have the latest drivers for it, too?

Found out the prob, it was to do with mta....seems whenever I have it open in the background it causes this prob, not sure if it does it on all games...il have a look tonight.
