mirror driver not active

Post by crevlon »

Hello,

i have installed the mirror driver with: "setupdrv install".
when i am connected with the vncviewer and check the mirror driver i get the following text:
"1.00.22 driver Current Not Active (viewer not connected?)"

I use Win 7 32 bit version.
The Display dephts ist 32 bit. I also tried 16bit.
I think the problem is that I dont have the following key In the Regedit:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\vncdrv\DEVICE0
!!!!!
There is no "vncdrv\DEVICE0" under "Services"!!! Only "TSDDD" and "VGASAVE"!

Why???

Could be worth trying opening a cmd prompt as an administrator, browsing to setupdrv.exe, and running that way. You may want to uninstall first, restart, and then try.

My best success at installing the video driver on Windows 7 has been from an elevated permission cmd prompt.

Re: mirror driver(windows7 64 bit) not active

Post by remotepc »

An observation

On windows 7 64 bit I tested it on 4 Machines
1. If we install latest ultravnc setup 1.0.8.2 and select to install mirror driver,Then mirror driver activation fails .

2. On a fresh machine if we download only driver files from the "download driver" link then driver gets install and activated .

Difference between 1 and 2 is- digital sign time stamp and date for -mv2.dll and mv2.sys . In "download driver " link folder it is 11 th April ,while the driver shipped with the setup has mv2.dll and mv2.sys dated as 1 st April . So it appears that the driver setup and the files shipped with ultravnc 1.0.8.2 setup are not the latest one .

How ever problem which I am facing is
Even though I use option 2 (" download driver "link) I am unable to get driver activated if I try to override already installed driver using ultravnc setup and at the Same time if I use fresh windows 7 with option 2 everything works fine .

This problem can be solved if Rudi can update the driver version and repack with 11 th april mv2.dll .

Please suggest .

Regards
Manu
