Everyone,

 

First off - thanks to the many many posters on this forum. I have used it to get answers to every possible issue I've had and it's gotten me to a point where Leopard is running smoothly on my PC. AND I LOVE IT! :-)

 

There's one issue that's still bugging me: Every time I try to edit or display a picture with either iPhoto, Pixelmator or Photobooth (display), all I get is a blank screen where the picture should be. I have tried restoring permissions (these are all pictures I transferred from my XP hard drive), I have tried displaying pictures I downloaded from the web (in Leopard), I have tried downloading pictures straight from my camera and still I can't edit them.

 

iPhoto displays a white screen in the window edit and a black screen in the full screen edit. Pixelmator displays a white screen in the window where the picture should be. In both cases, the thumbnails are fine.

 

I'm starting to suspect it's a video card - driver issue. I have an NVDIA 8800 and I'm using the NVInject 512 that came with the iAtkos version of Leopard. Since I couldn't even install Aperture (said my video card was incompatible), I suspect the video card is messing up the display of the pictures. I should probably point out though that the pictures display perfectly in Preview.

 

Anyone out there who's got any idea?

 

Thanks in advance

Went into iPhoto and can display and edit pictures. Went into the screensaver and was able to turn on all those SS that didn't work before.

 

THANK YOU! I can't wait to know enough about this stuff to be able to give back to the forum.
