Blackkatt Wrote: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!

Same problem here, with black squares on both my primary on secondary monitor.

But if I check the 3 "disable" options, everything seems fine but a different graphical bug appears on my primary display :

- black window during 1-2 secs

- blank window with a magnifying glass icon, it disapears when i switch windows or after 1 min

- Aero is disabled which means my windows theme is disabled or buggy, the soft I use to swithc windows just like in OSX no longer works ...

This bug seems to occur because of the "disable desktop composition". If i let it uncheck, my primary display looks fine but then again black squares.

Some informations on my config :
-Windows Vista SP2 running with BootCamp --> Graphic card : ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 2600 XT
last official drivers with Mobility Modder
-Aero enabled with visual style
- UltraMon (last release and beta versions tested --> both share these bugs)
- Display 1 : iMac screen (1680x1050)
Display 2 : HDTV (1360x768 @ 60 Hz)

If someone knows how to solve this ? Thanks in advance. Wink
