ScummVM Freezes
Hi all,
I'm a new user and I'm trying to open ScummVM on my Windows XP machine. When I click the icon in my start menu, it opens up the Scumm window but it freezes and I can't access any of the controls on the screen. If I switch to another application and come back, the interface graphics are gone and I hae the remnants of the previous screen on my ScummVM window.
I'm running version 0.8.0 (just downloaded today).

What are your system specs?
What version of Catalyst/Forceware drivers are you using?

I've got exactly the same Problem. My specs from the Intel Display Driver tool:

3 days ago I played successfully Loom, but this was before I reinstalled WinXP.

It seems to be a problem with directx, because I tried to "set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib" and it works.

I'm not sure whether this help, but I had a similar problem with a recent Java Installation some months ago.
The Java Control Panel in the Windows Control Panel had the same problem: The controls were not clickable, and ALT+TABbing brought just a white defunct window.
There was a workaround in unsetting some obscure DirectX setting IIRC (DirectDraw.blah = false), so that Java doesn't use DD-acceleration or something.
Maybe these problems are similar.
After a reinstallation of WinXP, I didn't have these problems anymore.

I have the same problem with an integrated Intel Chipset (915), seems to be driver-related (DirectX)
As a workaround, try setting the environment variable SDL_VIDEODRIVER to 'windib' to disable DirectX acceleration for SDL.
Or create a file named "scumm.bat" (or whatever) in your ScummVM directory with the following contents:
code:
set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib
scummvm
This fixes it for me (although ScummVM will most probably require more CPU power for running unaccelerated -- YMMV)
