Anybody else seen something like this??
I had previously installed the 1.0 CD on my typical
WIN95 system: 200Mhz IBM/Cyrix (Pentiumish) CPU,
64 Meg Memory, etc etc, and an ATI Ultra Pro PCI
graphics adapter. Yesterday I got a 1.5 MindStorms
and installed the 1.5 CD on the same machine. The
Installer recognized the 1.0 install and asked if I
wanted to 'update' it. (It saved my original users,
setup etc).
Near the end of the install I got the following errors:
1: Pop-up error box "SURegCreateKey Failed"
(clicked OK : what else??)
(Install completed, asked "Restart your system??")
(clicked Yes)
-- Reboot, restart, AND:
2: System came up in low-resolution mode, said
"New hardware detected: ATI Graphics adapter" "Installing
your new hardware".
(No choice, so continued, restarted system again)
3: System came up in Low-Resolution mode. Tried to reset to
1024by768: got "Your graphics adapter is disabled"!
4. Looked in Control Panel / System / Device Manager. Big red
X and "Display adapter disabled".
So, I "Removed" the Display Adapter in Device Manager, restarted AGain,
and, !YAY! my Graphics Card was detected, installed, restart and it
was back in normal HIGH_Resolution mode! Which was REAL good (because
I had a customer coming in a hour to finish up the images for his Music
CD album artwork!!)
-- 1.5 seems to work OK, downloaded Firmware, programs, etc. for quick
checkout..
SO: 1. Anybody seen anything like this??
2. WHERE is the best place to report a problem such as this??
This would have been a major strike-out bummer if I hadn't already had
an indecently personal relationship with WIN95. Many customers might
be quite unhappy if this happened to them...
Any suggestions / pointers appreciated..

| (...) The big defference in 'code' terms between RCX1, and 1.5, is that the latter requires DirectX 6.1, and installs it if you haven't allready got this. I have seen a couple of allmost identical faults, when upgradeing machines to DX6.1, so I (...) (25 years ago, 18-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) I had the same error trying to reinstall drivers of an ISDN card. You're lucky, since the only way I found to fix this problem was reinstalling W98, and to reinstall my ISDN card first (plug and play...). I checked on Microsoft knowledge base (...)
