New Windows 7 - NL Problem

Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics card?

It could also be a problem with VLC displaying uncompressed video. Have you tried compressing it with something like Virtualdub?

field33P: NoLimits is version 1.71

nannerdw: Please read my previous posts in this thread.. I've already stated that I am running the latest drivers for my graphics cards. I have also already stated that I have already re-encoded to Windows Media Video to view in Windows Media Player, and I re-encoded to MOV to view in Apple QuickTime, and since I have re-encoded to various other formats all producing the same result. For those reasons I have stated that the issue must be with the original video file.

--------------------------------------------------------

So a total review/reminder of what does not fix the problem guys!
- re-encoding the video to a different format
- changing quality settings in NoLimits
- changing the resolution in NoLimits
- changing the frames a second for NoLimits to record
- recording a different roller coaster
- running NoLimits in a compatibility mode
- re-installing NoLimits
- removing the overclocks on my computer
- updating graphics drivers
- using a third-party recording software

Things to know..
- I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (64-bit) RTM build 7600
- NoLimits is of version 1.71

--------------------------------------------------------

My own personal conclusions is that it is truly a compatibility issue between NoLimits and the version of Windows 7 that I am running. What else is left? NoLimits was not designed with Windows 7 in mind. Windows 7 is still very new, and for such reason issues with it are likely to occur. I just find it odd that Vista 64-bit didn't have this issue..

Ole seems to hate Vista and Windows 7, and really doesn't seem to show the intentions of supporting it (at the moment). Read for yourself on nolimitscoaster.de Can't you run XP in backwards compatibility mode or something?

Again, I'm having zero problems doing what you describe on Win7 with near identical hardware.

Brtnboarder495: I wish it were that simple but as I've already said compatability mode does not work..

TylerE: It is so strange, I know.. Thats the thing though, we have similar desktop hardware. We both know from experience that the hardware in our rigs is not the problem which only leaves room for software error. I can't think of anything else though besides it being at Windows 7 fault. Not just NoLimts either, I've already said that zero third-party recorders work either. They only bring a black picture and no sound but resolution and video length stay in tact. As much as people want to give solutions, I think it is just something that will get solved in time through Windows Updates.

You need to try a clean reinstall of your OS, and also of NL (obviously).

The 64-bit drivers for graphics (and probably other things) are probably no good at this stage anyway, Win7 isn't even out yet.
