1. Make sure you have latest version of DirectX (shouldn't you always have that?) ->
www.microsoft.com/directx 2. Video card drivers as well, if you can't find the website post it and I can help you find the website for that... 3. Windows Media Player latest - the 7.1 has some sound improvements over 7.0 -> http://windowsmedia.com/download/download.asp These should work if you try these steps, if they don't work, THEN email Roland... also, to located your video card manufacture / type for the driver... 1. Press START button 2. Goto "Settings" 3. Then either hover over/click on "Control Panel" 4. Find and click "System" 5. Find "Device Manager" tab and click it 6. Click to expand the "Display adapters" item 7. Tell what the text is on that Hope I can help on this... -- Young Phalpha ruffertoSep 28, 2001, 7:05pm
I've got an ooooollllddddd card [no upgrading to another card possible at
present], and display mgr info is this: Tseng Labs ET6000 / ET6100 PCI, hardware version 048 4-23-1999 drivers vmm32.vxd An attempt to upgrade the driver got the message that the best driver available is already installed. I'm using DX 7.0 (will have to wait til next month to dload 8, as am over my ISP's monthly dload limit already, thanks to the AW upgrade). I've changed the video tab setting in AW to Direct3d (from the software renderer original setting), and that has improved the backdrops. Am now checking on other problems. Thanks for your help!
