Errata / Workaround:

 

·         Microsoft Windows Media Player* 9 and Windows Media Player 10 music visualization in full screen can result to blank screen.  This is due to visualization invoking 8bpp color which is not a feature for Intel® GMA 500 GFX driver. To resolve this issue, please upgrade to Windows Media Player 11.

·         Default OS configuration will only use SW decode for WMV Motion Compensation due to known XP SP3 issue – this may slow down video performance.  Windows Media Player 10 with a WMV patch are available from Microsoft Web site. Windows Media Player 11 works without additional patches.
