Black window after minimizing
« on: July 27, 2021, 04:20:28 am »
I'm getting a black window after minimizing and restoring Media Center 26. It normally happens the first time when minimizing, sometimes though it appears after the second or third time.

I have the newest Nvidia driver installed on my Windows 10 64bit (all updates installed). I have also removed and reinstalled Media Center 26.0.107 (64-bit) - no success.

Does anybody have an idea what could help?

Did you try Google?  That sounds like a video driver problem.  Latest is not always best.

Yes I did. But no Result. Media Center is BTW the only app that has this problem.

Is there really no cure for this problem? I have been searching and testing everything possible. Nothing helps and this is really annoying, because I can only see a black rectangle on my monitor where Mediacenter is supposed to be.

Only suggestion I have is to try Media Center 28 and see if it still exists there. Perhaps it's something that was fixed in a later version?

Thank you for your tip. MC 26 worked just fine for years and doesn't work properly without reason the same could also happen with a newer version.

You have a driver problem.  Please do a Google search for similar problems.

Believe me, I have searched everthing I could think of. I don't just post because I am lazy.

What kind of driver do you have in mind? The graphics driver I suppose. But why then none of my other applications shows this problem?

Because that's how bugs are.  It might work with everything but MC and still be a video driver bug.

I'm sorry you have the problem, but as you describe it, I can't see how it's a JRiver bug.

In my signature, there's a link to Weird Problems.  Take a good look there and see how many times these JRiver problems turn out to be caused by other software.
