Thread: Right clicking on any video file causes the screen to blank

Right clicking on any video file causes the screen to blank/black for a portion of a second, but when it comes back the correct menu is open from the right click. Everything works perfect on the PC, but this bugs me to no end.

XP Pro
Biostar Tforce
AMD Opty 165
1.5 Gb DDR PC400
Samsung 160gb SATA

I'm also using this KVM switch

Come to think of it, the blank/black screen I'm talking about looks exactly like when I switch between PC's using the KVM. But only one of the PCs has this quirk.

Have you tried disconnecting your KVM to see if the problem still exists?

Also, have you tried a different driver for your video card?

I used to use a switch that allowed me to use the same mouse and keyboard for 2 different computers (over ethernet) and that would cause windows 2000 to pause during boot up. You just had to hit the space bar to continue with the boot process, but if you didn't, it would just sit there forever as far as I could tell.

This problem happend with Nvidia
Cards that has a TV out and are connected to a CRT monitor. The card scans the port to see if you have a TV connected. When you right click on the video file, you see a "play on my" where you will have the choice between "analog monitor" or "TV" or something like that. The flicker appends so this menu can be filled correctly.
