Subject:   Warpvision

Hi,

I've found out how to use Warpvision. Had been trying to start it via 
Mozilla which gave me a black screen. Also couldn't see anyway to add 
files via the playlist button when I used the GUI. Finally twigged that 
I had to right click on the playlist screen to get the dialog.
I find it only plays a few WMV files.  MP3 & MPG files play OK. Also it 
won't play DVD's . Is there any way to improve it's file recognition?

Regards,

Alan Duval

Strange an idea.

If you have made some more or less fruitless attempts in the past, it 
would be wise to delete the file video2.ini.

A proposito, do install only the latest RC1 or RC2, and in order to 
check whether all files or in place, do an operation from an eCS window 
and in de Warpvision directory like this one:

\warpvision\video2.exe d:\movies\*.mpg

If that works, you are on the right track. If not, your installation 
will have to be revisited.

Further findings:

  Shutdown on both an AMD X2 desktop and on an T30 thinkpad, require 
manual power off when prompted - previous betas actually powered off the 
systems (APM / ACPI problem ?).

  AMD X2 system - SMP support. This looks good now, the install does not 
hang, however this is most likely as the system does not install with 
the /SMP switch set on ACPI.PSD.  In the "last steps" phase - after the 
(new) Set User tab - pressing Next gives the error:
"panel not found SMPACPI". This stops you going any further in the 
"final setup" - in fact no more tabs are visible at the top of the 
notebook - gping by my install on my T30 the tab after Set User, should 
be  the one to set the LAN userid and password. I would say the revised 
ACPI/SMP setup logic has a problem and in fact is stopping the rest of 
the "final setup" stages from executing.

 I'll now check more on the T30 to see if Genmac of the Intel 2200BG 
WiFi card is any better. The drivers loaded but I can't seem to find the 
WLAN Monitor program.

Cheers/2

Ed.
