I have an HTPC setup that I've just installed the latest GameEx on... and I can't use it in full screen mode because the video is always scrambled. Any thoughts on how I can fix this? In windowed mode, it works ok.

The HTPC box has the nvidia 6150 chipset for video, and the display I'm trying to use is a Westinghouse 47" LCD 1080p monitor.

Thanks for any help!

What resolution are you running it at ....Is it wide screen?

In the advanced configuration, under display settings, tell it NOT to set the resolution.

I am running it wide screen, at 1920x1080. I have tried setting it to "don't change resolution" but that doesn't have any effect. Thanks for the suggestion. Any other ideas?

Can you define scrambled in a bit more detail? Also post your log.

Here's a screenshot, and log contents pasted below. I have tried lowering the resolution, and it makes the image smaller and equally scrambled:-(

Thanks again for the help!

My refresh rate is 60Hz (which incidentally is my only option). I don't know if it matters, but the opening "nag" screen displays fine, but getting into the actual GameEx interface is where it starts going crazy.

The log says GameEx is running atg 60hz also.

Hate to state the obvious, but have you got all the latest drivers?

This seems like a bad cable issue to me... But that's a guess. It's like one of the pins in your cable is bent. Did ya check that?

Here's a screenshot, and log contents pasted below. I have tried lowering the resolution, and it makes the image smaller and equally scrambled:-(

Thanks again for the help!

I think you have your desktop set at 32bit and gameex running at 16bit. Have you tried setting these two (desktop & gameex display settings) to the same value ? I've had a similar scrambled screen problem before and thats what fixed it.

Dang it! I just became "that guy". It was a driver issue. I thought I had pretty recent drivers on there, but sure enough when I updated my nVidia drivers, the problem went away. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Glad to see you got it fixed. I had a similar issue myself but it only used to happen when i exited a particular pc game. When GameEX regained focus the screen was scrambled - it puzzled me for days on end !
