QAM video is discolored/distorted

no worries SD, just giving you a hard time for fun

So... normal service has been resumed then...

Oh sure SD, give the poor guy a link that forces German language on the intel site :p

edit: @GLE - to my knowledge there's no reason you should have to use VMR7 on that chipset, and shouldn't get the DirectX9 error; updating your drivers should resolve it.

I tried both versions of the driver and both say that the software can't be validated. It looks like this as something to do with Dell maybe? I ran the automated Intel driver update utility and it mentioned my current driver is "customized" from my computer manufacturer.

It might be worth checking the manufacturers support site

I got their driver when I first installed my OS.

download the .zip version of the driver instead. if it still won't run using the setup executable, then update the driver manually using device manager.

i have three computers with intel chipsets all show the error with directx
when i switch to ati card it goes away (no update needed) switch back to intel error shows again intel need to update their drivers to run with their software lol

Thanks for all the help, time and patience so far!

Ok, drivers are updated for my onboard video. VMR9 looks a lot better now, although the screen does hitch when I move my cursor around. Still can't get past issue with DirectX. CPU usage is from 60 to 80 percent when veiwing QAM so I hope that helps it. Should I try to download DirectX 10?

Just to confirm I did a dxdiag run command and it says 9.0c is installed version 4.09.0000.0904.

you appear to be running XP, so DX10 isn't an option (too bad; the EVR renderer is often best, but it's not really available in XP). Regardless, NPVR uses DX9 calls.

Can I uninstall / reinstall dx09c? Is their any known issues where npvr doesn't recognize that dx9c is installed? Would reinstalling NPVR help me out? I think this version of dx was in my original install of windows home SP3.
