problem with folding display

[J37X]

when i click on the red cog to show the display, it tries to go fullscreen and is all messed up. And when i right-click on the cog and click Display , it does the same thing. Here is a screen shot of what it looks like>

is this a known issue, is there anything i can do?

There was an Open GL problem that was usually remedied by updating the video card drivers.
There is a problem with voodoo video cards too. Maybe because you can't get updated drivers.

hmm, alright, I'll look for some new drivers for the vid. I only have this problem on my old computer. It's a p3 450@505, on an Aopen AX63 mobo, the vid card is an Aopen Sis6326. It's like 8MB i think lol :D
I'll check out the drivers, or I'll get fold monitor so i wont need to see the display :cool:
thanks!
Fold on!

I have the same problem on my 8mb s3 savage!! ;)

Drivers & DirectX don't i think its the client!!

My T-bird box does a different kind of weird stuff with the F@H screen, but it runs just fine. I don't know what it is caused by and it just happens on the Folding graphical screen. Here is a jpg of it:

The problems are with the client, but it's limited to certain graphics cards. IOW this shouldn't be happening but there is a way to fix it for most people except for Voodoo owners unless you can write your own drivers. I had a voodoo4 4500 and the client hated it, but have a visiontek geforce2mx400 and it was fine. Only difference was the card. My other boxes seem to perform well too and that's with old 4 mb Matrox and Trident agp cards. I found some fairly updated drivers for them. Don't remember where maybe windrivers.com

Update>

Well i got some new drivers and i havent had any trouble with the F@H display yet (after 2 days). It will even go into fullscreen mode now. :cool: I think i still need to try some different drivers tho, because now the text gets smaller towards the far right side of the screen.(this is always there, dosen't have anything to do with F@H) I have fixed one problem but created another :D

[lennytiger]

cool, i have the latest drivers for my v3 and lastest bios, still no difference!! :rolleyes:

Another Update
Ok now after 3 days running, i just tried to bring up the folding display, and its all funny again. so i guess the drivers didnt help after all. It's alright tho, still folding so its all good :D
