[bug] Images flicker when displayed full screen.

[Brian Hoffman]

Ok here is the deal. When in my mame selection screen I choose my game and am able to view my flyers panel etc... When I bring these full screen the image flickers like It cannot size correctly. Screeny attached.

Gameex ini attached also

I cant duplicate the issue, and I cant think of anything that would have changed to affect it. Can you try and invistigate further? Anything else changed on your system?

Yeah I can try... Im sure I can figure it out.

Oh course we can always test your log in system too

Its been a while since I made a topic and I thought it was a good reason.

EDIT: Im running beta nvidia drivers for my laptop... They are hacked as Dell is horrable about updating drivers... Perhaps the probelm really lies there.

But on a happier note my games run great using it... Nvidia / vista drivers are slowly becoming bearable to use.

Im also running 1280 x 800 resolution... Ill lower it and see.

2nd edit: I lowered my res to 1024 x 768 and it no longer flickers but I get the stepping as its not resizing my image properly.

3rd edit. I have some older versons of gameex hoarded somehwere... Ill also roll back my drivers... Ill figureit out sooner or later and Ill post the fix.

For now I think ill call it a night.

Take it easy.

Is it forced in the drivers and GE?
