Rerunning Video Card tuning Tool?
#1
Posted 13 November 2006 - 12:51 PM
While running EMC-9 for the first time, my computer got hung while the video card detection/tuning tool was running. Is there anyway to rerun the tuning app manually so that it can detect my video card and save the info properly?
TIA,
-Frank

On the menu TOOLS / OPTIONS
The graphics test is there. If the 'dot' stays on software render after the test, then your video card does not fully support the commands needed for the 3D transitions/effects and they will not be available.
The system requirements are stated on the box and online. ANY video card or chipset designed for an earlier DirectX will most likely fail this test. However, you should still be able to use Videowave/MyDVd in the software render mode. With that said, there are still some older cards that don't have updated drivers that can still cause issues.

I found a driver at driverguide.com, which windows said it's own was better, then I installed it anyway. Voila. Works now.

Never download a driver, for any hardware, from the Microsoft Updates site. Get drivers from the manufacturer of the hardware.

I went to driverguide.com ......... downloaded the latest date driver for the VIA/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP card dated 2006. Only 7 megs. This worked great ........ without any problems installing.
Can't tell you how grateful I am ........ after 3 months trying to sort it out.

Not so happy now!!
When shutting down the PC it seems only to do a partial close down of Windows XP. I still have disc access lights flashing and the screen keeps flashing no signal.
The only way I can shut down completely is to switch off at the mains power. Also I can't bootup unless I have switched off at the mains power first.
Help!!

Don't understand this response. I followed the forum recommendations and the SiS website identified my chipsets and told me which drivers to upgrade. I'm now between a rock and a hard place. If I roll back to the previous driver EMC 9 does'nt work. Guess I uninstall EMC and ask my retailer for a refund. Also publisize on the web that Roxio is crap!!!
