Is it just me, or does anyone else get this kind of visual error when playing Maple in windowed mode? When I play in windowed mode and I click into my internet browser, lets of things turn black and I can't see them, even if I refresh the page. Also, when I'm playing in windowed mode, I can't watch a YouTube or see MSN chats. Technically I can still see the chats, but they don't update on the monitor. I still hear the sound, and the taskbar still blinks as usual. I just have to click out of Maple, scroll up in the chat, then scroll back down to be able to see. Any internet video I am watching, the video will freeze but the audio will continue. Then when I click out of Maple, the video instantly continues as it should and is synced with the audio. Its almost as if Maple is a fat kid standing in front of my television. I can hear it, just can't bloody see it. Does anyone have any tips on how to make this fatty get the eff out? Thanks.

I have same thing. I just minimize the window and maximize it again. Or be lazy and hit F11

just grab the windowed mode and rub it all over your screen and the black will be gone (this is no joke it really works)

When I window mode, first there's always this error that pop ups. If I leave it there, my ms will be frozen and when I finally click it maplestory will close saying I've used a time-related program on it. But when I click on OK it lets me window size.

William0319 : I have same thing. I just minimize the window and maximize it again. Or be lazy and hit F11 He has the right idea. Before you go into window mode, minimize all other windows. This should stop all the black-ness things.

Do you think there is any solution to the YouTube/internet video thing? Cause, I like to watch dramas while I train >_>

You are probably asking your comp for more then it can give. Go to the task manager (ctrl+alt+dlt, click task manager), and then click on the performance tab. Is your CPU 100%? What about your PF Usage?

I usually solve the problem by clicking "show desktop" on the quick launch toolbar.

I'm guessing you guys have built in video cards? If so you might want to consider investing in a dedicated video card. If not - no clue what's wrong.
