odd 3ds max problem
polycounter lvl 15
i recently upgraded my hardware and got an 8800 gts, then reinstalled windows (god knows i've needed this for quite a while). i then run a multi-monitor setup, one goes to my crt where i model off of and the other goes to my projector where i watch shows/movies...etc (helps keep my awake late at night when modeling).
however, the problem is that whenever i am in wireframe view the video will freeze on my projector, while the audio still plays. then if i move my view while still in wireframe the video then plays until i stop moving. its almost like the video frames are tied to my viewport updates while in wireframe view...
anyone have any idea how to fix this?
i tried switccing from dx to opengl, it still happened. then i switched to software rendering mode, it doesn't happen, which shows its tied to my hardware acceleration.
i then messed around with the viewport updating preferences, but it doesn't help.
so anyone have any ideas?

Things to check...
-latest nvidia drivers?
-max updates?
-any windows updates involved?
-mess with the settings inside nvidias configuration stuff?
What video player are you using? Media Player Classic (for example) lets you control the video hardware rendering. Switching to the software rasterizer might solve it.
