weird flicker over fullscreen AVS, 2.9x

caminis · 22nd April 2003, 10:42

I have a weird problem that really doesn't matter but is annoying all the same.

When I have AVS running in fullscreen mode, both my taskbar and the Winamp windows randomly flicker over the top of the vis display several times a second. It's been happening since I installed 2.90; upgrading to 2.91 didn't fix it.

I'm using Windows XP, Winamp 2.91, ATI Radeon 8500LE vid card. Anyone else have this problem/know how to fix it?

Check to see if you have Winamp set to be on top. Have Winamp opened. Press [Ctrl + A]. Now try using the AVS in fullscreen.

Oh right, the AVS fullscreen 'window' fights the main Winamp windows for always on top... that fixed it.
And unchecking "keep taskbar on top of other windows" in taskbar options stopped the taskbar from doing it too.

Never happened in 2.8x... Some more ironing out to be done in that new AVS window handling thingo maybe?
