I am having trouble with an ATI mobile driver, it is
refused by windows XP, giving the message "Invalid
display settings". I want to modify a registry key, or
something to force windows to not check driver
compatibility. Maybe this involves disable the HCL?
Anybody have ideas? I will be very grateful.
