ATI control panel issue? Rotate window
« on: June 14, 2009, 01:38:59 am »
I know this has been asked and asnwered, and there are instructions from Ultimarc to "click the ATI icon and select rotate" but something is goofed up and i'm stuck....

When I boot up the ATI icon shows in the running icons section of the task bar.  If I go over to click on it the icon vanishes just as my mouse hovers over it (crashing?).  I have a shortcut on the desktop to the ATI control center so I launch that and it doesn't have a rotate tab or anything about rotation.  I searched the forums and found a reg key item from 2004 but my reg keys appear to have rotate enabled.  Any suggestions?  My first thought was to reinstall the ATI control panel - can I use an ATI control panel I download from their site or does it have to be the one supplied but Ultimarc?

My setup - ArcadeVGA graphics, Windows XP, Vertical arcade monitor.

Also - really dumb but how do you get a program (MameWah) to run at startup in DOS mode?  Years ago I remember putting programs in the startup folder and telling them to run in DOS mode but that doesn't seem to be an option in XP and my MameWah fails to run unless I lunch it from the command line.

I did find the "rotation" setting in the mame configs and I have that rotating properly once it gets into a game.

Thanks in advance,
Craig

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

DOS mode? It's a windows based program. You're doing something wrong. There's no reason YOUR mamewah should be any different from OUR mamewah.

Yeah I've done something.  I am using TinyXP and must have some components missing that are required by both MameWah and ATI.  I went through requirements for both (.net, SP2 or higher, system files from MameWah etc).  I'm going to try one or two more things and if they don't work I may just go back to my full XP license.

thanks for pointing out it is a windows program,
Craig
