Unable to get mirror driver 1.0.22 active on Windows 7 64

[emboehm]

I used the device manager to add the mirror driver, using the vista64 drivers. I can see

Device Manager -> Display adapters -> mv video hook driver2.

The driver is functioning according to the properties page.

However, when I connect with the viewer, and 'Check the Video Hook Driver' I get 1.00.22 driver Not Active.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, winvnc as a service, 1.0.8.0.

This was working on Windows Vista Home Professional 64.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just checked on a WIN7 x64 and it works in my case.

This exclude that we forgot to add some OS version numbers to the code.
Drivers for Vista X64 and win7 are the same.

Did you already rebooted after install ?

On one PC the mirror driver fail if i have 2 monitors (1920x1200) attach,
with a driver error ( can't allocate memory), with a single no problems.

Yes, I have rebooted several times. I have installed/uninstalled the driver several times.

I do have 4 monitors. I have a Sapphire Radeon 4850 X2.

However, this did work when I had Vista 64 installed on the same hardware.

I may be able to reboot into Vista 64 since that is on a different disk.

Where would errors or message be logged?

[Rudi De Vos]

When it worked on vista64 is should also work on win7.
check the winvnc.log ( after activating it)

I took your hint and disabled 2 of the monitors. The driver would activate with only 2 monitors running.

I went back to Vista and it was the same story. No active driver with 4 monitors, active driver with 2 monitors.

Here's what it says for 4 monitors:

Tue Dec 01 19:29:04 2009
.\vncservice.cpp : threadname, inputname differ
--Access is denied.
.\vncdesktop.cpp : InitDesktop...
.\vncservice.cpp : SelectDesktop
.\vncservice.cpp : OpenInputdesktop2 NULL
.\vncservice.cpp : OpenInputdesktop2 OK
.\vncservice.cpp : SelectHDESK to Default (2fc) from 20
.\vncdesktop.cpp : InitVideo driver Called
.\vncdesktop.cpp : Driver option enabled
.\vncdesktop.cpp : Driver option is enabled

.\vncdesktop.cpp : Start Mirror driver
.\vncdesktop.cpp : Start Mirror driver Failed
.\vncdesktop.cpp : Using non driver mode
.\vncdesktop.cpp : No driver used

Turned off 2 monitors, driver says '1.00.22 driver Active access ok'

.\vncdesktop.cpp : InitDesktop...
.\vncservice.cpp : SelectDesktop
.\vncservice.cpp : OpenInputdesktop2 NULL
.\vncservice.cpp : OpenInputdesktop2 OK
.\vncservice.cpp : SelectHDESK to Default (2e8) from 20
.\vncdesktop.cpp : InitVideo driver Called
.\vncdesktop.cpp : Driver option enabled
.\vncdesktop.cpp : Driver option is enabled

.\vncdesktopsink.cpp : WM_DISPLAYCHANGE
.\vncdesktopsink.cpp : Resolution switch by driver activation removed
.\vncdesktop.cpp : Start Mirror driver
.\vncdesktop.cpp : Driver Used
.\vncdesktop.cpp : Shared memory mapped
.\vncdesktop.cpp : Break log
.\vncdesktop.cpp : bitmap dimensions are 2560 x 1024

So, it looks like it would only handle two displays.

Previously, I had accidentally installed 2 copies of mirror driver. Should I try that? I have two entries for the Radeon display adapters.
