I am going out of my mind, so perhaps I am missing something very simple, I really don't know.
I had my htpc and reinstalled Server 2008, installed Nvidia drivers, and then XBMC. Took a bit to get the correct resolution for my display and had to use a secondary monitor to get the settings correct, but I eventually got them. 1360x768 60Hz V 47.7Hz H. Video playback was perfect. No tearing what so ever. I couldn't use this OS though because apparently the student promotion through Dreamspark only gets you one activation.
Installed Vista Ultimate, nvidia drivers, xbmc and all I get is tearing. Just installed XP Pro and the exact same issue. I can not for the life of me get clean perfect playback like I had with Server 2008, it was literally perfect. Resolution is still 1360x768 yet it tears everywhere.
Specs:
E5200
GA-G31-ES2L
1.5GB DDR2
Asus 8400GS Silent 512Mb
40GB 2.5" OS drive
1TB Storage Drive
Sharp 32" 720P LCD connected VGA.
Any thoughts? I've either got to be missing something or...
