V6 New Intall Problem

Hi All,

I just installed V6 (dual tuner card bundle from Sage) but when I start Sage, it has a problem. It starts but just shows a bunch of colored lines in the Sage window (As if you are trying to display a higher resolution than your monitor/video card supports). The card seems to have installed just fine (Hardware says it is working perfectly).

XP Pro, 2500+ Athalon XP, 512 ram, Geforce 6600

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Russ

Check that your video card drivers and/or DirectX are up to date. You can try disabling SageTV's use of 3D Acceleration by shutting down SageTV, then set this line in sage.properties:

ui/accelerated_rendering=false

There is an option for this in the UI, at Setup -> Detailed Setup -> Advanced if you want to enable it later.

Updated the video drivers, installed Directx 9.0c and changed the line in sage.properties Still does the same thing.

Any other ideas please?

Thanks

Installed an earlier version 5.sumthin sumthin and it did the same thing, edited the line in sage.properties and it worked. Tried upgrading to version 6 and the colored lines came back.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Russ
