Simple enough, no? (^_^)<\/p>\n
Well… Not so simple. (._.)<\/p>\n
Okay, so far I’ve done most of my recent recording using CamStudio… Which I totally love. =^-^=<\/p>\n
Since I’m just doing little screwball things, I ain’t gonna pay money for this stuff… So, I use Windows MovieMaker.\u00a0 It works for me.\u00a0 So, sue me… Okay, it WORKED for me. DX<\/p>\n
Past tense… Worked!\u00a0 So, what happened?\u00a0 Recently Windows Live had some big-butt upgrade and it’s like ready for 2011 or something.\u00a0 Either way, the apps got changed.\u00a0 And, that’s where my troubles started. DX<\/p>\n
It’s also something I’ve sorta seen in the past, but, when playing really old games.\u00a0 It’s a tough thing to screen-grab because Windows often renders everything just fine… It’s when it reaches my frigg’n card that there’s a problem.\u00a0 (>_<)<\/p>\n
Okay, enough of the how often and since when… Here’s the what.\u00a0 Starting with my attempt to play SimCity3000 (which is the one that ruled best, I might add).\u00a0 So, I got the game to launch and the menus to respond to my clicks, but, the screen looked like scrambled porn from the 1980s! DX\u00a0 I mean… If you squint, I’m sure you’d spot a nipp… Oh, hang on. (O.o)<\/p>\n
Okay, so, anyway… Graphics futzed on SC3K… S’okay, right?\u00a0 It’s a frigg’n old game and I should expect compatibility issues.\u00a0 later on, I try Black&White… Ick, that was a tough one to get running… But, thanks to a couple websites and I think even a plugin I got it to bloody launch… With the same frigg’n problems SC3K had! DX\u00a0 S’okay, right?\u00a0 This game was notorious for being incompatible with Vista and Win7. (._.)<\/p>\n
…. But, I like those games. (._.)<\/p>\n
Anyway… I’m making little videos in SL and ‘producing’ them in MovieMaker… Totally taking advantage of the “Send video to Youtube” feature that bumps my vids up on-the-fly with name description and all… Teh hawtnezz, that is. =^-^=<\/p>\n
Then… Bloody upgrade to bloody Windows Life 2011 or whatever rot they tried to pawn on me.\u00a0 So, sure, I’ll bite.\u00a0\u00a0 What could go wrong?\u00a0 Well……… (-_-)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
So, there it is… The screen artifacts, freaky misalignment, stuttering performance, and general un-use-ability! DX<\/p>\n
GAH!!!! DX<\/p>\n
So, I figure my video card\/drivers are having an issue, but, something that only happens on a specific arrangement.\u00a0 Now… Live Movie Maker has that specific arrangement since I updated it. (._.)<\/p>\n
So… Frigg’n solutions! How do they work!? (>_<)<\/p>\n
Maybe I could downgrade Live and at least get Movie maker back.\u00a0 I dunno… Maybe someone out here knows what’s going wrong and just points it out to tell me “Turn this off” or “Turn this on” and happy happy times return.\u00a0 I dunno… Maybe someone knows about a killer freebie movie editor that exports stuff that works fine and fast with Youtube without jumping through hoops. (>_<)<\/p>\n
I’m open to suggestions… Lemmee know… I sure as heck can’t fix this myself. (._.)<\/p>\n
