hey. whenever i play a video, the mouse always leaves this weird shadow on the video, this dind't happen before when i had 98 or XP but now i have 2000 and got rid of all my codecs and installed new ones its been happenin and im unable to make full screen video caps anymore

here is an example


does anyone know what codec is causing this? or what codec i need to get to get rid of this thank you

p.s. lol when i play some WMV files, i can't use the navigation bar to skip to a certain part of the video, anyone know why? i mean this dind't happen before either

have you tried turning off mouse shadows? Also try using windows standard cursors, nothing with colors or complex images.

thanks for replying

but thats not the case tho...sometimes it goes away too but i just dont know when it goes away and when it goes away im able to do fullscreen videocaps (using printscreen) but normally when i press that when the shadow is there the whole video part is black

try using the old version of windows media player, found in
c:\program files\windows media player\mplayer2.exe

i find it much better than the cack newer ones, and it seems to handle fullscreen video better. the mouse should disappear after about 2 seconds of inactivity.

another issue may be hardware acceleration upsetting things.
