AVS not working in vista
I've been using AVS since 1999 (so I know I'm turning it on correctly.) so when I moved to vista all I get is the default color/ redish black. I tried changing the color to no avail/ that usually don't work anyways for me. But I noticed the same problem on my laptop; I thought It was just a laptop problem.. but being on a regular rig I shouldn't be having this problem still. Is it just Vista? I've got the desktop set to solid color black. if that helps.

did you test the overlay in any other application (e.g. videoplayers)? did you check your drivers for your graphic adapter?

AVS works ok for me when run in a window... and in overlay mode... the only place where it isn't working is if i say "set to desktop color"

i have tried everything and could not get it to set as desktop color

i'm also running Vista... Ultimate x64.. checked for and have the latest nVidia drivers

Vista seems to struggle with fullscreen mode... it wouldn't suprise me if M$ changed their borky display setting implementation.

Got multiple monitors?

rumor has it vista is losing support for ddraw and now everything is moving d3d instead. typical microsoft jerks.
