Strange graphics bug

Post by ILTK » Wed Jan 11, 2006 9:17 pm

This has happened a few times now, after playing for an hour or so, all of a sudden all plugin windows come up only showing the outer frame of the plugin window, the inside of the plugin just shows the background, like it's showing a screenshot of whatever was behind the window when it was opened, you have probably seen this on other programs when they crash and lock up.

You can't click anything, only close the plugin, when this happens it will do this on all plugins, only thing that helps is closing Live and starting it again.

The plugins and Live continue to work and play fine, only you can't do anything with them.

I get this too once in a while. It usually happens when virtual memory is running low. Are there any updates available to your video card? I guess I'm assuming it is a pc. If it is a mac I don't know.

Yeah pc.

It looks quite like some graphpics bug, like older versions of windows when it ran out of GDI memory. I have a GF6800 Ultra, but I'm running the latest drivers, maybe I'll try some older driver version if it becomes a problem, it's not that often it happens and I can still save everything and restart so it's not a show stopper.
