Hi all.



I have PowerDVD 16, version 16.0.1713.60.



Recently I did a custom desktop system build with Windows 10 Pro. My previous system build was also Windows 10 Pro, it's just that now I have all new hardware (better than my previous system build!!).



Anyway, a weird little thing I noticed, and I don't know if it's due to the new monitor I have with my system.



I have an LG 4K monitor. When I launch PowerDVD, whether in windowed mode or full-screen, like the Subject line of my post says, the "timeline bar"? The bar down the bottom of the player's interface? As a video is progressing, the progress bar moves from left to right?



Well, before I did this custom build, whenever I would point the mouse cursor along the bar (not click on the bar, just hover the mouse pointer), I would see a "time" stamp listed depending where I'd hover the mouse, like 23:56, or, 1:14:48. Now? Nothing.



At the far left end, it shows the time measure that's elapsed; the far right end shows time remaining counting down. But what happened to the time being shown when you hover your mouse along the line/ bar?



The reason I mentioned my monitor is because I heard that Ultra HD 4K monitors can affect how some things (programs, interfaces) are displayed on-screen. Is the type of monitor I have perhaps causing this?



Thanks for any info,

Pez

Hi Pezzy,

Have you reinstalled PowerDVD after updating your system? If not, I'll advise you to do that.

Hi Cyberlink-Hicham; thanks for the reply.

Reinstalled PowerDVD? I didn't "update" my system with an in-place upgrade. I built this system from scratch with all brand-new parts, including a new Solid State Drive.

I formatted the drive with Windows 10 Pro by booting from a USB; this is a fresh, clean install of Windows 10 Pro.

Afterwards, I went about installing various programs, which included PowerDVD.

And like I mentioned in my original post, I noticed that weird little thing with the "timeline bar". And I also mentioned my 4K monitor because I had heard that it can affect how some things are displayed on-screen.

Any other ideas or suggestions? Never heard of this issue before?
