Right Click on video clip / media file in explorer makes s..

Using Forceware 62.20 with Win XP SP 2

Whenever you right click on any video clip .avi .mpg etc. in windows
explorer or on the desktop, the screen blinks or flashes to black for
a second like it is doing a resolution change. This does NOT happen
with any other type of file, even those associated with WMP (mp3).
Nothing crashes or anything, but it is a bit distracting. I have no
unusual software like quickview or anything that does anything on
right click.

Anybody noticed this? And, if this is a common observation, how do we
report this sort of thing to Nvidia? I presume they do not read this
group?

Thanks.

Disable the Nview feature if you don't need it. NView in the recent
drivers has been upgraded to have a "Play this file on your TV"
function. I'm not sure if it's on by default or not. Probably is if
you've got a line hooked up.

As a last resort, go ahead and disable the NVidia services from
starting. You can use MSCONFIG, or a right click on My Computer and
choose Manage (select Services), which is much better. There might be 2
of them. You can ignore the CPL extension one (NVCPL) I think, as it
pretty much just loads the icon.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
