Demo bug in windows 7
category: general [glöplog]
Appologies if this issue has been raised and a fix suggested etc, I did look (breifly haha) for similar threads.
A few demos i've tried to view, most recently this one -> http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=56901 don't seem to display properly.
They start fullscreen but then the startbar becomes visable and nothing seems to remove it. Alt tabbing between windows doesnt fix it either...i'm at a loss.
Im wondering if this is a windows 7 issue or an issue with the few demos its happening on themselves.
Any ideas?

I find a lot of Win7 demo problems can be solved by disabling desktop composition (aero glass) in the compatibility properties for the exe. Give that a go.
fwiw, that demo and others do not have this problem for me on win7.
I don't have such problems on x64 win 7 (gf9600gt).
I've never encountered any issues with demos on win7, 64-bit (2x AMD HD5770 crossfire), except for DOS stuff of course.
No aero here, I switched to windows classic first thing after installing.

Works fine here on Win7 64bit, Nvidia Quadro FX880M.
Aero ofcorse turned *ON*, why make your guy slower with the CPU instead of the GPU? :)

Yup im also 64bit Ultimate edition. Not tried it with Aero off, ill give that a go.
(_Chucky_ some of us have machines that can handle it, hence why it's on ;))

UPDATE: Tried that demo and the others I've had that problem with, with Aero turned off, works perfectly.
Thanks Insectecutor :D

"your guy slower" ?? your GUI slower.. hehe....
I've had the same issue with some demos in Vista, turned out I had Firefox open every time, when I closed FF the demos ran fine ... try it ... maybe it works
slower guys, SLOWER!
