DOCUMENT:Q157450 09-AUG-2001 [winnt] TITLE :Matrox Millennium Adapter Occasionally Displays Blue Pixels PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT PROD/VER:4.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbdisplay kbhw kbHardware ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 - Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you are using DirectDraw YUV surfaces, the Matrox Millennium video adapter sometimes erroneously displays bright blue pixels after the conversion to RGB space. This is most likely to occur when you are playing ActiveMovie videos. CAUSE ===== This behavior is caused by a hardware saturation problem that occurs during the conversion. RESOLUTION ========== You can work around this problem in ActiveMovie by clicking the Advanced tab in the ActiveMovie Control Properties dialog box, clicking Properties, clicking the DirectDraw tab, and then disabling the YUV Offscreen option. NOTE: The resolution setting is NOT in the retail product.
