Sysmetrix hates me PC!

Hi all,

I have Sysmetrix running on two systems. Both are using Litestep 0.24.7 and Sysmetrix 3.41
Usually it runs fine, but on my gaming system, if Sysmetrix is running, I can never start any games. Once I launch a game like Half Life, Swat 4, Wow, etc, the video resolution changes (I hear the monitor clicking) and it looks like the game is starting but then I end up back at the desktop. I know that Sysmetrix has something to do with it because I can reproduce it on demand, and as soon as I shut down Sysmetrix, all of my games will start normally.

Is this typical? I can't figure out why Sysmetrix would care about a game running...for what its worth I have also tried not running Litestep, i.e. running the standard Windows shell but I get the same results.

Yes, you need to turn sysmetrix off to run full screen games. You can't see it anyway. I think it has to do with the way it handles transparency.

I can't say I've noticed that as an issue....and I too use 24.7 ....[0.24.7 RC 3 build 4-June-2004 ]

....but then I 'only' have 65 games and/or demos installed.....

....and there's me thinking I was hogging HD space with 11. That must be some HD you're running there, Jafo. )
