Hello!

I am using these codes, Windows Media PLayer 9, Winamp, VLC 0.8.2.

And when runing Explorer all my movies works in any codec without any problem. But when running litestep the Movies dont work at all in VLC, thay start and al but the screen is just black, and in Windows Media PLayer it turns blck in fullscreen. In Winamp it works fine, but sometimes the picture goes crazy and i have to restart winamp.

anyone knowes what might couse this?

If you need more info or something i'm sorry, Im tierd as hell right know and im sure I have forgotte something important. But i add it later if thats the case.

Kisses ;)

Sounds like the old problem where things don't work if there is an alpha-shaded pixel located at position (0,0). If you hide LS (or just kill it, restart it later), do the movies work fine then?

yes the movied did work fine when i did that.
so i have to kill litestep, start the movie and then start litestep every time i wanna use VLC ore any other codec?

No - if what Boreas is saying is right (quite likely) then all you have to do is adjust your theme so that there is no alpha-shaded pixel at (0,0).

I heard that this is a bug with Windows.
