Install Problems with CRT Emudriver

Post by thefunk007 »

Hi Guys,

I recently acquired a

• PVM-20M2MDE
• HD 4350 GPU
• 4 x BNC cables
• 1 x RGB 201 RXI

I am following the installation steps here: http://geedorah.com/eiusdemmodi/forum/v ... p?pid=1016 by Calamity himself....

The problem I am encountering is once I launch the driver set-up its essentially skipping the first section of the install and asking for me to approve 'Calamity' - this is suppose to happen on restart after I have done some other things first?

I don't understand why it isn't first asking me to do this: Image

Any advice, as I simply get get this thing to function at the mo!

Any pointers would be really helpful guys.

Thanks

I've had this happen on Win 7. It never asked me to turn on test-signing, and crt_emudriver still works perfectly. It also won't ask more than once unless you turn it off again. So if you've turned it on, but didn't install crt_emudriver, or uninstalled, it won't ask again when you run it next time.

If you're having problems, Dr Google says: Press Start->Search->cmd then right-click on it and click Run as administrator. In the CMD window type or copy this "bcdedit /set testsigning on" and press enter. Restart PC.

Thanks for the reply much appreciated, so I finally got it working - but the only way I could get it to function was by having the PVM connected to the DVI with VGA adapter and the LCD monitor connected to the VGA connection at the back on the card - if I try and swap them round I get the issue of the LCD screen reporting that it can't display that resolution which is what it was doing after the driver install.

So it's great I have it outputting now, but don't really want to have it from DVI to VGA to the PVM :-/

Thanks

Well, the DVI-to-VGA adapter is passive, so you're not losing any signal quality.

However, when using VMM to create the resolutions, you may be able to target a specific display. Or you could try doing the VMM part of the process over, but without the LCD plugged in. If you do plug it in later, its EDID will report to windows and say what it's capable of.

With the pre-EDID-emulation cards (4000 series and below) you get funny issues like these cropping up all time, in my experience.
