Have you ever heard of crippling your hardware to be a solution? I found a spec sheet here, and it does list two inputs. 5 x BNC and a VGA connector. So the monitor has two inputs listed. http://web.archive.org/web/199902241...5/P815SPEC.HTM To use BNC, which has no EDID, you'd need a BNC to VGA. My old Trinitron came with such a cable. The cable looks similar to this, with VGA on one end, and five BNC on the other end, for RGBHV. I didn't realize the P815 was that old. http://www.computercableinc.com/ccin...GB-CCStore.jpg Paul Good idea, I forgot about the bnc connectors, I have the cable around here somewhere. All I crippled was an extra adapter plug I wasn't using anyway, and I am satisfied with the results so far. The big regret is the week I burnt up on this. Tech support from evga and nvidia don't seem to have a clue about this problem. The last thing I got from them was they wanted to rma the card. Media player and media center won't play a dvd because of this hack (I think), but I have something else for that. Are you getting the issue because there has been a hardware 'change' that the DRM is designed to look for and doesn't like? In which case you just go to your DRM folder in Vista and delete everything in there. New copies of the files are then generated for your 'new' hardware. I hope its this simple. Simple? Nonsense, if you have to fight DRM to get your hardware to work, then your OS isn't for you. Anyone who uses Vista this late in the game, with all the facts available as to Vistas weaknesses and strengths deserves their headaches. Vista is designed to thwart you, not aid you...once you get your head wrapped around that concept, you begin to appreciate other user oriented OSes all the more. While I respect your views on a number of subjects your view on Vista is at least one service pack out of date. Vista's SP1 did nothing for this topic, my points are still topical and the end result is end user disappointment/frustration/disgust/in search of other solutions. By your own straw argument your first para was 'topical'. The other two were neither 'topical' nor factual. Don't be disingenuous, you have zero chance of convincing anyone in this NG of Vista's superiority or even parity to alternative OS solutions, even without the over-arching DRM deal-breaker. "Disingenuous - Adjective - lacking in frankness, candor, or sincerity; falsely or hypocritically ingenuous; insincere" I'm none of those but at least you spelled it correctly. Neither am I trying to convince anyone in this ng of anything but how to potentially fix a problem. And I couldn't give a **** whether other people like Vista or not. Unlike you it seems. Feel free to have the last word - it'll probably matter more to you than me. Don't be that way, I'm not attacking you, though often times threads can have the *illusion* of being a personal attack and if I were doing something so irrational and pointless shame on me. I'll attack incorrect positions to my hearts content and I hope you will too. I'll take the last word you kindly offer as your tacit agreement that my views on Vista are not the least bit out of date and SP1 does nothing for the OP's issue and also properly credit you for not defending Vista, you were just trying to be helpful. |
