What are the relationships/differences between the below settings?
Both of these enable/disable fullscreen in PVRX2.

(1) When used together, in other words "windowed mode" unchecked and "VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive" selected, there is some slowdown.
When only one of these settings is enabling PVRX2 to go to fullscreen, the screen response seems a little faster.

(2) When I have "Show in windowed mode" selected in the General tab, and "VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive" selected in Playback tab,
exiting PVRX2 and returning to the Windows desktop results in the entire desktop covered with the "skin" from PVRX2
and the taskbar and tray are completely black. I can "recover" the taskbar items by dragging the mouse over them, and
"recover" the desktop by dragging an open application over it, like using an eraser in Photoshop.

(3) When I use "windowed mode" unchecked, and EVR selected, it seems to work, but I use Win XP and EVR isn't supposed to use hardware
acceleration in Win XP.

(4) When I use "windowed mode" unchecked, and "VMR9 Custom" selected, I don't have any of the "skin covering desktop" or black taskbar
problems.

-------------------------
General tab

Fullscreen / Windowed / Placement
Show in windowed mode

* Checked, GB-PVR displays on your PC monitor in a window (i.e. with a window border, min/max buttons, etc.)
* Un-checked, this option will cause GB-PVR to take over the whole monitor.

-------------------------
Playback tab

VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive

* VMR9 Full Screen Exclusive is basically the same as VMR9, except it asks for full control of video hardware and
takes over control of the entire screen. It works a little quicker than regular VMR9 because the device isnt
having to be shared with Windows for updating the desktop etc. It has some advantages like being able to lock
to the refresh rate of the monitor, minimizing video tearing etc. VMR9 FSE and VMR9 Custom use Direct3D to draw
frames to the screen, regular VMR9 used DirectDraw.
-------------------------

The setting in [Misc tab] "Minimal OSD during playback" doesn't work or prevent the OSD during any of the above "Fullscreen" modes.
This only seems to work when Live TV is in a window on the desktop.

I have an all Intel desktop PC with Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8 GHz processor
2GB 800MHz PC6400 RAM
Onboard Video - Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family GMA 3100, 128MB memory size.

Thank you for reading this,
Jon

"VMR9 Fullscreen Exclusive" is video renderer. As the name implies, its for fullscreen use, and totally ignores the 'run in window mode' setting, since its not possible to run in a window with this renderer.

On XP it can sometimes leave garbage on the screen after exiting the app. Its just bug in PVRX2, but one I'm unlikely to fix.
