For that reason I have run the MB drivers and applications CD several times
thinking that something is wrong there - all to no avail-

Does anyone have an answer to that, Please

The code in question, is in the SIS video driver. I downloaded the
driver from the Asus web page. This is what I found.

04/11/2007 03:06a 110,592 TVMode.dll

I found a match for DDrawSupportGetDriverName in the TVMode.dll file.
If it was my machine, I'd have a look around, to see where SiSApCom.dll
was installed, and see if TVMode.dll was next to it in the same directory.

I don't know exactly what the cure might be, but those files will have
something to do with it. It is possible one or more of those .exe files,
might be run as a service, or even be running all the time (as seen in
Task Manager when you press ctrl-alt-delete).

Thanks - I admire your technical knowledge, very good indeed. I have both files
in the systems32 folder. I seem to remember that there was a mention that if
something did not work to just install the drivers again - well I did that 3
times and it still does not work -

I suppose rather than creating a lot of work, I might see if I can get Asus to
send me a CD that works or else put up with something where I really cannot see
what is missing.

Thanks

You could try getting the driver direct from SIS. That would be
another way of doing it. The SIS one might be more recent than an
Asus download.

On looking over the package again, it could be that the
directory in question, is used for the display control
panel. So maybe disabling it or modifying it, wouldn't be
a wise idea.
