Alley shows black window

Post by rollincash »

Hi, I wanted to convert some of my files using Alley but when I launch the program it just shows a black window. Any ideas? Thanks.

Sounds like the issue we're working on, where Alley does only display a black window, when it's running with the integrated GPU in a system where the main display runs from a dedicated GPU.

Check the nvidia driver settings, and make sure you have Alley assigned to your Nvidia GPU.

Can you try updating the ATI drivers, maybe that would help?
