Hello everybody :)

I'm from Germany and not well trained in the english language. So i hope i don't make too much fails at grammar and orthography.

A few days ago i changed from Windows XP to Windows 7. Everything works fine and i'm really happy about the new functions that come with Win7.

But now i have a big problem with the Visual Boy Advance Emulator. (Version 1.7.2)
A graphics problem.

I made 2 screenshots for better explaining:

Windows XP: http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/8686/hq2xproblemalt.jpg

Windows 7: http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/7985/hq2xproblemneu.jpg

As you can see, the graphics in Windows 7 is pixellated. (I use the hq2x Filter for both screenshots.)

I tried so much to fight this problem.... but nothing works.
New / old drivers for my ATI Radeon X1900XTX: No!
Updating DirectX Files: No!
Change Render Modes in VBA: No!

Then i tried the newest version of the VBA-M (M956) and "tadaaaaa" the graphics are perfect! For a short moment i was really happy.... but then i noticed that my savestates doesn't work. Argh!
Everytime if i wanna load a savestate.... the VBA-M crashes!
So i can't use this version of the vba.

And just for information: With the 1.8.0 beta3 from VBA i got the same problems like in 1.7.2. Pixellated graphics!

Here my pc configuration:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+
2048 MB DDR 2 Ram
ATI Radeon X1900XTX
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit)



Does anyone have the same problems or an idea how i can solve them?

That would be sooo nice! :)
Fall back to Windows XP is a thing that i don't really want...
