Title: OT - Abstract art ~ MC style!
Post by: marko on September 22, 2005, 01:59:57 am
MC is by no means the only application to do this, though I do see it less and less these days.

Is it just me? I can't help myself but play when it happens. A bit like popping bubble wrap I guess :)

I'll be back on the MC track when I'm done sorting out my images folder, shouldn't be too much longer now. keep up the good work alex, enjoyed your lesson in restraint yesterday ;) very well handled.

Like all software, MC relies on Windows working right in the first place. Fix your system Marko.

it is not always the OS, sometimes it is a trade of in speed and allowing time slices during a operation to allow the update of the screen.

In the Old Days Media JukeBox was bad for this

it has improved with Media Center however

it is also somtimes bad video drivers

tab, you surprise me!! pay attention to detail ;)

just to clarify, this is not a 'complaint' post. I know it's a screen refresh thing and is not a problem for me at all. Note the 'OT' in the title.

I just wondered if I was the only sad-sack that derived 30 seconds of pleasure from playing around with the effect :)

Whenever this happened to me, I just had to make sure all the screen was re painted.... I don't know why.....  I try not to let people know this, This is the kinda thing that the people in white coats come after you for.....
