Placeshifter - no picture with Interl 945 Express graphics chipset
I had placeshifter working on my Acer laptop until recently. Suddenly, I started placeshifter and and when I try to view TV etc. I get sound and no picture with an error message to the effect that there is a hardware incompatibility and my hardware does not support overlay.
I am using Vista 32 bit home premium with latest versions of SageTV and Placeshifter. My Acer laptop has an Intel 945 express chipset. Placeshifter works fine on all my other machines. I have downloaded and installed latest Intel 945 express driver (7.14.10.1504) but no change to problem. Any help appreciated. |

I had a similar problem with my ASUS laptop that had me stumped for about a year.
In the end I rebuilt it bit by bit testing Placeshifter as I went. It turned out to the the 'ASUS Splendid' video utility. It loads itself on startup. Once I removed that it worked fine. Do you have anything similar to that that loads itself? Just a thought. |

It's not part of the driver. It's a seperate utility.
Obviously you wont have an ASUS one, but there might be something in your startup folder. The ASUS utility puts a logo on the screen for a few seconds when you log in. |

I've just had a browse of the Acer download site and there aren't any utils like this there so I'm probably pointing you in the wrong direction

Enter BIOS (F2 while booting) Go to Advanced Tab Scroll down to Video Memory setting - was set to "DVMT" Changed video memory setting to "128MB" Exit bios - opting to save settings Pleaceshifter again works perfectly! |
