On Behalf of a New User....

Post by JayPro »

It would seem that this chap has a problem with G-Force on his PC using Windoze Vista.

Since the people who maintain phpBB won't allow me to directly upload an image from my desktop; I'll hafta explain it:

He's seeing horizontal arrangements of lightly scattered dots across the screen and not much else, apparently.

He does, though, report that WhiteCap works just fine for him.

I'll be grateful if I can relay any advice on the matter.

Thx.

you can post images at photobucket its free registration and they dont hag you.

I have had PhotoBucket account for 2 years and only have a handfull of pics stored there (screen shots and avatars ) and they never say I'm not using enough of their service.

once your image is hosted you can post the link here as I do for screen shots.

ps. Im pretty sure you know this but just in case :D

Is this user also using Windows Media Player (WMP)? If so, one common mistake is that users will have the WMP equalizer turned on and when they go full screen, it's actually the equalizer that is going full screen and not G-Force (and this would look like what you described). The fix for this is to exit out of the equalizer view prior to going full screen.

If this doesn't fix the problem, please have the user open a support ticket from the "contact us" page below:

Dots on Vista

Post by Woody »

I had the same problem on my new Vista computer. Jason McKay from SoundSpectrum said to do this:

Lets try turning off Graphics acceleration in G-Force to see if this helps.
Please try the following steps:
1) Start G-Force Standalone.exe
2) Press SHIFT+O (to turn off OpenGL mode)
3) Exit G-Force Standalone.exe

I did it and G-Force works great now.
:D Woody
