Guys -

I swapped from an older Gforce 8600GT to a bit newer (still old) to an EVGA Geforce GT520. I downloaded and ran the new drivers. Now what is happening is bizarre:

Everything displays the image just fine IF and only IF I run Windows Media Center (WMC) in a window that is every-bit of the full-screen size but NOT maximized to fill the screen...NO problems. That is, WMC non-maximized displays fine. However, as soon as I maximize Media Center, video will play fine about 90% of the time...BUT almost always when it breaks for commercials, the screen will go black for a few seconds, then displays, then go black again, and repeats. After commercials, no problem. On some occasions, it will do this on playback of some tv shows, but not for most.

Any ideas? Driver issue? Media Center issue? Something weird in timings or something? I am pretty sure the PJ isn't to blame, although on rare occasions I think it looses sync when this is going on.

Cheers,
Matt
