Hi I have a Gainward Ultra /650-8x Tv running on a P3 system.
The tv out is just fine for games but when I play back avi divx etc they are corrupted but only when I select full screen mode. The effect is like a ghost to the left and is very apparent on transitions from light to dark in the picture.
I am using nimo50 build 7 and it occurs using real player or win
media. I have tried different drivers (upto 40.71) and reinstallation of SW including direct x 9. The card is setup for B/pal . I have tried different tvs as well.
Any help or suggestions appreciated

Which operating system flavor are you running? And which version?

Also, has this problem always occured or is it a recent issue? If it's a recent issue, when did it start?

(By the way, me likey-likes your name. It's the same as my fave 'puter. :) )

Hi Digitalwanderer.
I am using Win XP no service pack. It is a new card just installed. SVGA out is fine even thru a video projector but when I select TV out and go fullscreen it is awful. Games are ok on TV out. Tried 41.09 drivers too.

Got it sorted. The Full screen option for the second device has to be enabled in the overlay options if you want a decent quality picture on the TV. Prior to this I had just been right clicking real media or win media and selecting full screen.
