Mainstage graphics problem with Mountain Lion

I have an imac 20" early 2008 with Mainstage 2.2.2 (420.4) . When some days ago i've upgraded to Mountain Lion i have casual graphic problems in Mainstage , mostly in the workspace ,i have various patters of funny colors , the buttons are barely recognizable ,and when i switch to other programs (i.e Safari) there are also here some little areas with wrong colour points .

When i try to enter Perform mode i receive this error :

Error entering full screen

This could be due to lack of video memory. If you have multiple monitors, please try turning one off or reducing its resolution. You can also try connecting one of the two monitors to a secondary graphics card.

Needless to say i have only integrated monitor.

The imac has 4 GB of memory .

tried to throw away and reinstall Mainstage (buyed from Mac App Store) but have no luck .

Anyone can help me ?


Thanks

I have 10.8.2 operating system and this is how Mainstage 2.2.2 works on my computer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zO4hw_oIOY&f


I have to use it for live performance, so it is extremely annoying. It also randomly crashes, so at the moment I cannot use Mainstage in live, I instead use Pro Tools. I hope they will fix this soon, this is unacceptable for a professional audio software.

I seem to have found a way around the issue. I was having the problem too, so out of desperation I decided to unplug the HDMI from my monitor and plugged it into my TV, and the problem stopped. Found this somewhat odd as the monitor source itself shouldn't have made the difference, so I plugged back into my monitor and switched the resolution from 1920 X 1080 to 1600 x 900, and the problem went away. I hope this works for everyone else too!

I have the same issue (imac 2.8gGHz/4GB). Sometimes the display goes into a strobe where it can't seem to sync-up. Even when I avoid performance mode, it's still slow and clunky in edit mode and I get ocassional audio blips.

At first I thought I was just underpowered, but maybe downgrading the OS is the best solution at this point.😕
