Weird graphical problems on the mixer

[Atardecer]

Hey all,

Anyone had this problem? (sorry bout the picture resolution)

Gotta have something to do with our dual-screen setup? First monitor is a Dell 24" (1920 X 1200 res); the second a projector for viewing video (The image on the right is just the blank desktop). As you can see the mixer goes all screwy when you scroll to the right. Sometimes the mixer also appears blacked out when scrolling to the right. This only seems to happen on some projects and usually, i can get rid of it by scrolling back and forth a few times or by closing and reopening the mix window a couple of times. Not quite sure what ive set up wrong here. Any ideas? I should point out that it doesnt affect audio or anything like that, except of course being able to see whats going on! Lucky we have a procontrol!

Cheers,
James

PS. Please let me know if the link doesnt work

It's not that you are using dual screen. It seems like you need to update your graphics card or Motherboard. It could also be a setting, or your monitor resolution doesn't match up with the GPU's resolution.

Hmm, its probably to do with the monitor resolution as this is a brand new purpose-built Audio PC, running latest drivers all round. I do remember that the guy who built it had actually experienced problems with 24" Dell monitors running at that resolution. Bummer. Having said that we use the exact same monitor with the other system running Nuendo and have not experienced anything even remotely similar. Also using Ableton Live and Reason on the PT system and have no graphical issues there.

Regards,
James

I've had a few graphics issues since upgrading to my Gateway FPD2485w (24" @ 1920x1200). In my case I get patches of the mix or edit windows popping through the opposite window. The only fix for me is to restart PT, its not something I can "refresh" away. I had never seen this before upgrading my monitor.

Yea if you tried it on a different systems and the monitor works, then It might have to deal with your graphics card. I'll center it around that. Try and play a movie or clip, something that is graphical that will use the GPU. See what you come up with. It could just be a setting in you GPU's configuration. Sometimes a fix could come out before your system builder can add it to your machine. I'll try that first. Most of the time you might have to uninstall your GPU's driver by right-clicking "My Computer", then go to Manage/Device Manager/Display Adaptors. Right click on it then go to uninstall drivers. The PC will uninstall then ask for a Reboot. Accept the reboot then see if that works. Also, make sure it is not one of the unsupported GPU's in the Digidesigns requirements.

My Post house is running 2 PChd2 systems & 1 mac, both pc's have the same problem. If you take any plugin window or your memory window and just wipe over the area it goes away, weird.
Hope this helps
