Title: Sceen disappears at startup
Post by: GerardA on April 03, 2011, 03:03:58 pm
Peter,

A very annoying thing happens when I start XXHE.
I have a link attached to the taskbar to startup XXHE.
But instead of appearing on screen I see the programsceen move to the left and dissapear on a virtual screen to the left.
Guess it is a combination of the ATI-driver and your program using a wrong code?
After closing XXHE and starting up again it behaves normal again.
Maybe it is simple to solve?

This has been there forever, and some standard MS malfunctioning thing causes it.

By pure coincidence (after all these years) I finished the solution to this 2 days ago ...

Well I tried the new version, but still the problem exists... :(

Hmm ...

Don't you actually *have* another "screen" (like a two head graphics card) ?
Not sure what the impact of that would be, so just asking ...

And when this happens, don't you recognize that it takes a very long time before XX shows some life in the first place ? And is it during playback that you want to bring it up ?

It happens when XX is finished and does not come up automatically, but stays at the taskbar.
I have to close it and start again. Sometimes even then it goes wrong and have to close and open again.
I have a dual graphicscard with the second screen disabled.
When it is enabled, it is on the right side, not on the left.
Maybe I'll have to check at ATI to see if it is a known bug.

I checked with the second monitor on and works ok for now, but it is a noisy beamer so that's no solution.
But what I see too is the version number says Z4-01. Is this an alias for 5 or did I not install it the right way.
You say a lot about the new settingsfiles and directory, but not what we have to do to install it the right way...

OK. Found setup.exe, but shortcut still goes to Z4.1, strange...

Not meaning you are a "dummy", but about a means of decent installation as intended :  Installation guide for Dummies (http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=833.0).

Ok, you mean when Unattended Playback has finished and XXHighEnd comes up automatically ?
If it is this what you mean ... hmm ... I wouldn't know right now what could be different about that, but the way it is started certainly is different.

This looks like the exact the same problem as I posted in the 'xx stuck on taskbar' thread.

Or am I mistaken...?

Well I felt like a dummy when I saw it was still z-04 ;)
But before I just copied the new version in the C:\XXHE directory and it worked.
This way the shortcut and remote control don't have to be changed.
But maybe it's better to rename the directory and make a new one first.
Now the procedure is different then before, at least at my place.

CoenP, I think it is the same problem, but I was first!! :tongue2:

Well I am a dummy!
Installed in G:\XXHE iso C:\XXHE, a remnant of the Vista installation.
Added C:\XXData and put the tempororay files there and everything ok now.
(Saw a new version of the ahk-file too so I put it in it's place)
