coreythemaggot Wrote:Hello and thanks for a really useful guide. I've used it now since it's first issue.

But I'va got this problem. When looking at the secondary display (720p TV with XBMC) there is a vertical row of rectangulars at the left side of the screen. Also, I have always noticed an unsynced framerate both in movies and menys compared to the "swap main-display"-mode.

This goes for all tried graphisdriver versions and xbmc-versions.

Anyone else seen this? Is there a solution?

Thanks! ///ctm555

This is a Windows problem with some blame on Nvidia I guess.. You can solve this easy by following these simple steps.

1. Right-Click on XBMC.exe, goto "Compatibility"
2. Now check, "disable visual themes" "disable desktop composition" "disable display scaling on high DPI settings"

TaDa! Shocked

The Problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem.
Do you understand?
