Vista x64 Issues with Media Center and LCD Display
Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2008 9:23 pm
Help, please!
I've gotten my GX LCD display loaded up and working with several pieces of software on my build of Vista x64, but am unable to get it to recognize output from Media Center, or for that matter, Media Player in 64-bit mode. I've kinda delt with similar issues in the past as Media Center on an x64 platform is only 64-bit compatible. I've had to locate specific 64-bit codec drivers for video to play properly and am under the impression that the LCD Studio software may need to be written to also take this into consideration. With some expreimenting, I also noticed LCD Studio worked fine with Media Player in 32-bit mode, but when issuing the command "unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:64" to make it run in full 64-bit mode, it no longer was able to pull file data to display. Unfortunately, Microsoft did not build in a Media Center option to "downplay" in 32-bit mode, it is constantly going to be a 64-bit app.
Also to note, it seems that the LCDInfo app can neither interface into 64-bit Media Center. As it cycles through the screens, I see the clock, CPU useage stats, but the screen is blank for Media Center stats.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
