[HELP] Permission for changing Ati 3D Settings

Kapitan · Jun 13, 2005, 05:20 AM

Hi all gurus of Drivers

.

I have this question for you:
I have a non Administrator user on my Pc,
and i have to change the 3D settings with him.

But even if i change setting on Monitor->Proprieties->Advanced
(i have not the CCC), WinXP Pro cannot save it.

I think is a permission problem (my user is a Power User),
so what can i do? What file i have to permitt on writing?

TNX ALL Guys.

its registry entries you need to give permission for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATI Technologies
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
and maybe also
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Video

Why you're not an admin account is weird...you should be unless someone doesn't like you.

This solution works!!

Thanks a lot. I've given permission
to Ati Technologies and to ATI Technologies Inc.

I think the Class entry is desk.cpl call. Isn't it?

EDIT:
another question, do you also know the Radlinker permissions?

ChoGGi · Jun 13, 2005, 12:07 PM

the class entry stores your driver settings, the ATI Technologies one stores your control panel settings (i believe).
as for radlinker you should just need to give permissions for the ones i already mentioned.

RadLinker should work without the need to change permissions as it handles security itself.

I think the same. But it doesn't work.
It don't recongnize my video clock frequency
(0 core 0 memory) and i don't know why.
Now i try to reinstall.

maybe it needs read access to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\RadClock

Change the permission on the whole branch of the ATI settings

Kapitan · Jun 14, 2005, 01:32 PM

i've thicked the "mode change" and it works fine!

Sometimes it tries to connect to crl.microsoft.com,
someone knows why?

How did you find this out

Does it do it all the time?

Sygate pops up a window:

File Version : 6.0.2900.2180
File Description : Esplora risorse (explorer.exe)
File Path : C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe
Process ID :

Connection origin : local initiated

Local Address :
Local Port : 1398
Remote Name : crl.microsoft.com
