my media server has started throwing a wobbly on Theatre View. It's using 2 older dual VGA nVidea FX5200 video cards (w/3 screens) and used to run Theatre View fine, but I havent' run  it on their for ages, and now I'm on 12.0.533 it throws a "Error starting Direct 3D engine" and then crashes out.  Any ideas ?

Try installing the latest graphics drivers.

Also, do 3D visualizations work?  They use the same basic system, so it's a good test.

Thanks.

no 3D viz either....what gives? have downloaded latest drivers for the cards (and rebooted too)

underneath message says "(hardware not capable of windowed mode)"

[damian_pentney]

Fixed...I  cranked up hardware acceleration for the cards and all works fine now

Glad to hear you got it working.

This would be a good one for the weird & wonderful thread.
