wpi killed my pc

[viinno]

Ok..I tried WPI for the 1st time...

downlaoded it and installed it.... great

setup everything how i wanted ....great

used nero to burn a test image...great

run my test image in daemon tools.... not great

monitor went black and told me "input not supported"

rebooted... xp starts to load... then back in black

xp did boot up.. my speakers told me it was booting up

my monitor on the other hand insists that "input not supported"

rebooted in safe mode and did a system restore, ok so that did fix me

but i thought hey maybe it was just my pc

so i burned another image, run it and guess what?

yup another system restore

am i alone in having this problem?

WPI.CMD changes the screen res and refresh rate when launched, sound like you monitor cant handle the res or refresh , edit wpi.cmd with notepad and edit the video changer line to somethign more suitabke for your hardware

[viinno]

yup that would do it all right

ok thnks glent

is there a reason why it changes resolution?

[viinno]

ok i completely removed

REM Force resolution to needed size for wpi interface.
start %wpipath%\Tools\VideoChanger.exe 1280x1024x32@85 -q

and.... it worked fine

still would like to know why the need for res change tho, also with flat panels becoming more and more the norm , prehaps a little warning in the user manual? just a thought there.

if you want more fun with WPI

only delete the REM here in wpi.cmd .

REM del /s/q "%userprofile%\desktop\*.lnk"

(of course is just joke)

It is disabled by default in the next version. Lesson learned.
