ET Graphics Problem After Standby

(mg42) #1

Whenever I put my laptop into standby, wolfenstein et has a graphics problem.

A orange line about 3cm high flashes up and down the screen.

It is a pain.

I am running windows xp sp2, with an HP laptop.

I have applied the 2.60b patch.

Is the problem also in ‘sleep’?

No I tried but it doesn’t show it

what do u mean by sleep?

Most computers have sleep and stand-by modes, does it happen by both?

If you tried to make a screenshot, I assume there is something with your graphics card!

no it only happens in standby:armadillochase::stroggtapir:

Happens when you have 2 ET’s open, and you close one. The second one is only about 2/3rds of the screen. You need to reload ET.

No, I dont have 2 ets open.

Its not 2/3 of the screen either it just goes funny - a orange bar flashes up and down the screen

I didn’t say you did, I said it’s the same concept. You need to reload ET. Or turn off Hibernation.

what do you mean by ‘Reload ET’?

Restart, not reinstall.
