Hi all,
I tried searching for this issue, but came up with nothing. I hope I didn't miss anything during my search.
Anyways, I have an issue where if I open up the ATi CCC window, I lose the video portion of any video/movie I play back on my notebook. This includes all physical video files or DVDs. Online flash videos (like YouTube) are unaffected.
Basically what happens is that the video is completely black, but the audio itself is perfectly fine. There is a "solution" to this issue, by opening up the ATi CCC panel, and disabling and then re-enabling the "Use application settings" checkbox under the Video tab. This re-enables the video portion, completely as if nothing had ever happened. However this must be done for every single video played launched no matter what application I use, until I reboot. After a reboot, as long as I don't touch the CCC panel, I don't get the blanked-out video.
I hope I explained that clearly. I'm sure somebody else has seen this issue before, and hopefully can enlighten me as to why this happens. Please note that this problem/solution occurs for all video players I've tried: Windows Media Player, Win Media Centre, VLC, BSPlayer, Cyberlink PowerDVD (bundled with my notebook), JetAudio, Winamp, Media Player Classic. I also tried different codec packs, to see if it wasn't an issue with the new Windows Media Foundation codecs (was just a guess).
My notebook's info is as in my signature:
Dell Studio XPS 16
i7-720qm
Ati MR HD 5730, version 10.8 drivers (direct install, not upgraded from 10.7)
*am not using any overclocking software or tools, etc.
This has been an issue for me right from the get-go after I installed Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit (fresh install from MSDN DVD, not upgraded, nor from Dell).
Thanks for any help you can provide,
daver
