Sudden problem with 9.1

[upsidedown]

Been working fine until I did newest security updates to XP. Now it won't even draw a line without locking up. If I hit Alt-F1 I get a light blue fuzzy screen.

 

 

???

I have auto updates to Bill's page and don't have a problem here, do you spyware, or antivirus running, tried a cold reboot?

don't you just love these

 

I guess two options:

-uninstall win updates

-reinstall MC

 

I'd go for a second one

Yeah, did cold boot...no diff.

 

With the XP syspak2 installed I don't show a list of installed updates on the "add/remove software" page anymore. I think I'll just re-install MC.

Make sure you back up your .cfg, post, tool. libs., op. libs., etc,etc....

XP SP2 wont work with most of cracked programs, you may be at wrong place.

Found it!

I had slowed down my hardware acceleration level because of a video problem I was having. For some reason it affected the way MC9 generated the lines I was drawing. Boosted the accel rate back to 100% and all is well. Now I have to figure out why.

Oh, yeah.

I do show the XP updates in add/remove. Just had to tic the box at the top.

 

Duh

upsidedown,

 

There's also an update for the HASP drivers for anyone using XP Pro SP2. This was because Microsoft included the wrong device drivers in their SP2 update package. The right drivers are available as a download from Mcam's main website. Look for a file called "Drivers.zip" on Mcam's Support/Current Downloads page. HTH

 

B747US,

 

Don't jump to conclusions. The majority of members on this forum are "lurkers". This means they simply read a lot of topics, gathering information that is useful to them. Plus it also makes them comfortable knowing they don't have to reply. It's sort of like a fear of public speaking. upsidedown has been a member almost as long as yourself. Unless proven otherwise, upsidedown deserves the same amount of respect as you or I.

It was just a thought, don’t mean to harm any.

I agree with you 100%.

B747US,

 

No harm done to me. I might be different for upsidedown but it seemed like he ignored your comment anyway.
