  • Whistler +DH???

    Hello, everyone!!!
    I am testing now with Whistler Beta 1 Build 2296. I once dropped this OS because of DH issues. Now, it is little bit better, but DVDMax on TV is still not working.

    When I tweak the settings for DVDMax, I get an error message "error writing to X:\Windows\System32\Desk.cpl"

    Other things, like multiple display and clone works OK. Only the DVDMax thing is not working.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks,

      It's possible that the drivers try to tweak the desktop control panel. Your desktop control panel may have been renamed in Whistler to something else (***.cpl). Will Windows be unhappy if you rename it? Maybe. Can you get the Matrox drivers to use the differently named one? Unlikely.

      You might be stuck for the forseeable future.

        Did you try two monitors with different resolutions on it?
        I hope they will fix that...

          I am using the Windows 2000 latest driver, I believe it is 520. When I used the 514, whole system goes down. With 520, I can access the advanced menu with no trouble. However, it has problem overwriting the desk.cpl.

          Any help would be greatly appreciated.
