FS Visualization's Appear Choppy

While I am playing audio files in the normal mode, the Visualization in the corner work and run fine and very smooth.

However, when I fullscreen the Visualization it runs slower and much more choppy.... Anybody know how to fix this?

I checked around in WMP, and I couldnt find any settings for when the Visualization goes fullscreen. I also noticed that while Im in WMP playing audio files that when I go fullscreen, the resolution appears to change and everything runs very smoothly. But something does happen differently when I run WMP by itself, and when its running in Mobile Impact.

Any help is greatly apreciate. TIA!

The problem that you are describing is actually a typical one in WMP. Its somewhat of a video memory resource hog when it comes to its visualizations. What you are describing is due to a somewhat weak video card with a low amount of video memory. What are the specs on your computer? I have also found that if your computer shares video memory with system memory, you can increase your video memory in your bios which should resolve any problems.

I have a Gigabyte GA-700VM400M Motherboard with on-board memory: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...ame=GA-7VM400M

Im not 100% sure how much memory the onboard video has, but I guess I will try tweaking out of the bios.

The reason it came to my attention though is other programs run full screen Visualizations fine. Even WMP itself! Thats why I dont understand what is the difference and how is Mobile Impact embedding the Visualization..... If everything ran like this than I would have thought that I am having Video Card problems..... But I dont feel this is the case, until now.
