No help from the Dell site

The downloads were older drivers and the troubleshooting was with my sound card running under w98 or 2000.

I'm stuck!

Is Bryan Cox monitoring this thread?
Any comments?

Thanks

BANDL

This might sound way out there, but I distinctly remember somebody on the forums trying this successfully with XP.They ran the program in 98SE compatability mode and got rid of a similar problem. Have absolutely no idea whether this will work or not, but when at the end of the trail, why not, only take a few keystrokes to find out?

If I were going to try this I think I'd copy and paste a copy of Microstudio2400.exe right there in the MTU folder and work with the copy to keep from having to download another in case this didn't work.

George
I unstillade the Microstudio2.4 (installed under XP), reinstall it under W98. I have exactly the same problem.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Well rats. FYI Bryan may or may not surface on a weekend. They take some deserved time off on the weekends. Just passing this on so you'll know what to expect.

Enjoyed reading your post on the midi's at the other forum.

Take care,

George

Might be one of two things:

1. You might have got a bad download, have noticed Bryan has instructed several people who were having problems with 2.40 to re-download.

2. Went to the GeFore Forms site, link below:

http://www.geforcezone.com/yabbse/index.php?board=3

There are several references that the AGP processor on this Nvida board runs too fast. There is reference to another driver that can correct this, but was unable to get the information as to what or where the driver is you download to try out.

BANDAL,
Here is a link to another post where the person using a different video card was having the same problem as you, he decreased his hardware accelaration and took care of his problem, here is a link to that thread to read:

How do I decrease the Hardware accelerator?

Jim
Thanks for the suggestion. However the posting I went to did not specify how to do this.
I found the audio hardware accelerator in Direct X, and decreased it from the highests setting (where it was) to the "standard setting" this did not do anything for my problem. I imagine, however, that I must do this in the video hardware, and that I could not find.

Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

BANDL

Hi.........

Don't have any ideal how to reduce your speed.

Suggestion, if you use MTU products often.....

Get an ATI Video card.....this is the only video card MTU uses to write their programs for and test the programs on.

You should contact Bryan with all your system specifications and MTU products to get an exact ATI model card to purchase.

I think this will solve your problem...once and for all.

Jim (kjzone)

Bandl,
Please send me your Dxdiag as described at: http://forum.mtu.com/showthread.php?threadid=322


Here is how you can change your Hardware acceleration for your Video card.
[list=1][*]Right Click on your desktop, anywhere there is no Icon.
[*]Left Click on Properties
[*]This will then open the Display Properties. Then click on the Settings Tab.
[*]Click the Advanced button.
[*]Click the Troubleshooting Tab
[*]You will now see the Slider for Hardware Acceleration. You cannot move this all the way to the left for any of our programs to work. You can move it to about the Third mark from full. If you move it further than this, it will disable your Video Memory and then not work at all with our programs.
[*]Click Apply and close the Display Properties
[*] Next, Click the Start Menu and the Run command
[*]Type in DXDIAG and click the OK Button
[*]This will open the DirectX DIAGnostic program that will gather and show your computer data. Click on the Display Tab. Make sure that the Approx Total Memory line shows a number such as 64.0 MB. If it shows N/A then you have turned the Hardware Acceration down to low and the programs will not work. If this is the case go back to the top of this post and make the correct changes.[/list=1]

This has been posted under the Microstudio Tech support Forum also at: http://forum.mtu.com/showthread.php?threadid=1720

No luck

Bryan
I just sent the dxdiag information.

I tried decreasing the hardware accelerator to the minimum (the click just above where the N/A message appeared in the dxdiag "approx. tot. memory" no luck the problem is still there. In fact when I ran the program with the N/A message in the dx "approx. tot. memory" area, I got the same results.

Thanks for the help

BANDL
