Flickering
Recently this just started happening: If I draw even the simplest of objects on the screen, like a circle, it will flicker. This did not happen before. My percentage of memory is still set at 25%. I uninstalled and reinstalled XPro and it is still happening. It occurs as I progress through drawing, occasional flickering. Any ideas?
I am using Windows XP, service pack 2, have a 3200+ amd processor, 1 gig of ram.
I just submitted a ticket to Xara Support, but TG is so full of knowledgable people that I thought I'd post this here too.
Let's see who first solves this, Support or TG.
Here's a sample of what's happening:
[hmmmmmm, it won't upload my .avi file.....]

Re: Flickering
Bob, how large is the avi file?
I know there is a size limit but don't recall what it is right now.
Can you zip the avi to a smaller size using WinZip or WinRar?

Re: Flickering
Hi,
Mine is doing this also...but I assumed it was from the latezt upgrades for windows XP, and also I installed a new graphic accelerator..the windows updates were about 6 weeks ago tho'...but I assumed it was related

Re: Flickering
2.45 MB. Is that too big? To zip it I should first put it in a folder, right?

Re: Flickering
Jim if you have automatic updates enabled the latest updates were released on March 11th. Microsoft releases updates the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month.
Bob if you do not have WinZip or WinRar you can zip a file using Windows XP. In Windows Explorer right click the avi file and select Send To then select Compressed (zipped) Folder.

Re: Flickering
Bill, I don't have that option with the right-click. I can put it in a folder and then zip it...
[I'm sure glad someone else is experiencing this too, not that I am happy about your flickering, Scotty.]

Re: Flickering
Soquilla,
I was just acknowledging that I have a similar problem with XaraXtreme pro and have for some time but started when I got automatic updates and installed a new graphic card in the same time period...I beleive it was XMLT something that was updated at the same time I put in new card..there were about 4-5 updates installed at one time and I haven't sorted out whether it was a combination of accelerator or the updates...I can live with my flickering.
I was just trying to make a gues at the problem.
since I put new card in X3D6 doesn't work at all.
Tried Un-installing and re-installing all Xara products I have but X3d6 don't wanna work.

Re: Flickering
2.45mb isn't too large. The Manage Attachments window doesn't specify any size limitations if they exist. Maybe Risto can check this?

Re: Flickering
Sorry Jim I thought you were saying the flickering started recently. Do all apps flicker or only Xara Xtreme?
Bob you can zip however you are comfortable doing it.

Re: Flickering
Okay, the .avi file is in this folder, hopefully, which is zipped, if the upload works, that is.
hmmm, that didn't work either
TG WILL allow me to upload graphics, though.
Here's as far as I ever get and then after a LONG wait I get a connection lost message, which is incorrect because I am always connected and still am or I wouldn't be posting right now.
