I've just finished an install of my new computer, and I've encountered a small problem with Media Player Classic Home Cinema, I think I've had this before but it's been so long I can't remember how to fix it, something about an overlay.

My new graphics card is a Sapphire HD 5770, Media Player Classic Home Cinema will only display video on the primary monitor, I have a Monitor and Plasma setup and usually have the Plasma as the extension of the desktop, so I can just drag videos over and watch them. Right now I can only watch them if I make it the primary monitor, otherwise it's blank.

Also the bottom of the video player seems to 'stick' on other images when in fullscreen, it'll have a line of the desktop background image, or if I move my mouse to make the time-status bar appear and remove it, it'll have a stuck image of the remaining time in the bottom right.

Windows XP SP3

Latest MPC-HC, CCCP
Apparently things like this are fairly common with new GFX card installs, does anyone know how to go about fixing this?

View-> Options-> Output-> change DirectShow Video Renderer to something else, for instance Haali's Video renderer or madVR.
