Hi I'm having problems with media center displaying any kind of video on my second monitor ( well 40" sony TV). using WMP however the display is always fine. Even in media center when the video is playing full screen and the play/ pause buttons are displayed the video is fine but as soon as they autohide a frame of the video keeps repeating constantly (I'd sway the same frame at least once every second). I've tried changing the screen resolution etc in media center and in the display adapter section but I can't seem to stop this. As I said WMP and other programs play back the files correctly so why doesn't media center?

Any help really appreciated! It's driving me mad.

hi Matt79, any luck solving this issue. just set up my VMC under vistax64 and an getting the exact issue you are, not only with dl-ed videos but also with the MS sample videos. Hopefully someone has an answer out there.

Matt PMed me - thank you Matt - and the problem, confirmed, is the ATI Catalyst graphics card manager software. Once I uninstalled it, the problem is gone.

I had the very same problem and I found the solution.

Its is only recent ATI driver+manager software updates that cause this problem. If you roll back or find and install version 8.10 everything should work splendidly. At least it did for me. I tried every version between that and the most recent and all gave me the same problem.

Hope it works for you guys.
