Noobie here. Sorry if this is covered elsewhere. I downloaded and installed XMBC today. It is running on my PC, as a trial before installing it on an HP Microserver that's arriving next week. I'm running Windows 7, on a Core-i5 based machine. There is only one display attached, running at 1920x1080.
In windowed mode, everything is fine. But when I change to full screen mode, XBMC starts behaving odd. The display is fine while navigating most of the settings. But if I break into a 'sub menu', e.g. Home -> Music -> Files -> Add source... then the screen immediately dims to full black. If I shake the mouse vigorously, it comes back, but clearly the dimming process is competing with my shaking! If I press Escape enough times, the display will return, presumably because I'm going back up the menu structure.
Once in full screen mode and playing music, the display will again blank.
"Use fullscreen rather than true fullscreen" doesn't help.
"Blank other screens" is off.
Turning off the screensaver (in XBMC) doesn't help.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
