OldMan Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I have a strange problem with the ATI Radeon 9600 when logging in to a Windows 2000 domain as a normal domain user. I cannot get rid of the ATI help window that shows up after driver installation, even after unticking "show this window at startup". When I login locally to the client machine, I do not get the help window, however, when I login as a domain user it always appears ad will only go away (or will not show up if the user has elevated priviledges (domain admin, etc)). Anyone got a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phrollux Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I'm not clear on this, but seeing as no-one else has commented yet,...I'm guessing the standard user accounts dont have sufficient rightsto modify the registry. I have an onboard ati rage (or similar) on mylaptop and ctrl-alt-delete reveals a couple of ati processes, one running with SYSTEM and one with USER.If the process only shows up one time (as admin) and is not linkedto actual drivers you could use group policy > software restrictionto prevent the applet from running.However, if it is tied to the drivers you will have to look for theregistry key that changes and maybe create a logon script for yourusers (does that run as SYSTEM?)If you cant find the key by hand, you'll need some 3rd party installation monitor that can take snapshots of the registry.Create a new (temp) admin account, snapshot on first boot with helper enabled and then again after disabling.Hope that kicks of some ideas on this thread.

OldMan Posted July 7, 2004 Author Share Posted July 7, 2004 Thnx dude. I will try the registry snapshot as I have several programs that monitor registry changes. Will post what I find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
