try to start starcraft it seems like this game would be a slam dunk you know it's old it's two-dimensional but it's a native windows game and it's a great lan party option even in NUMBER_TOKEN but on the xNUMBER_TOKEN it pops this cryptic error message about not being able to set the video mode now this is the third game we've seen with weird video problems whether it's rendering incorrectly or failing to recognize all available resolutions or failing to start at all there's some weird problem going on with video here what could be causing it well this is of course going to be another of my videos where i tell you that i can't say for sure how any of this works and what you're going to hear is going to be a mix of guesswork and extrapolation from the few hard facts i could pin down if anyone has any solid inside info i'd love to hear it but i scoured the internet torn apart the software as best i could and all i really have are tidbits there is one thing i am sure of this is not a virtualization trick doing this with vms at this time on this hardware in this part of the country localized entirely to your kitchen was not possible there were no virtualization specific features in the pNUMBER_TOKEN as i recall and even if there were if you were running two or god forbid six xp vms on this machine it would have started glowing the cpu overhead would have been inconceivable not to mention seven os reading and swapping with a single pre-ssd spinning disk the whole thing would have run like a fleet of NUMBER_TOKENs for about NUMBER_TOKEN minutes before it melted straight through the floor virtualization is cool but in this era it was a hammer and this machine would have crumbled under its blow i may not know exactly how the end computing works but i am positive it's doing something considerably more nuanced and as usual i'm going to take you through the whole agonizing process of how i determined that as is traditional let's make a short story long probably not surprisingly none of this works out of the box you put the cards in your machine you get some exclamation points in device manager and that's it no picture after you install the drivers the terminal comes on but it just displays this waiting for startup message you have to go install the control software before it can do anything in order to install the software and activate the devices you have to enter the serial number from the bottom of each device which is a weird form of drm i can't figure it out why do you have to prove that you have the device when you couldn't use the device if you didn't have it it's weird with the software installed when the pc powers up the terminal now shows the login but let's take a look at the management software if we get into the management app from the systray here this is kind of cute it actually turns out to be a snap in for the microsoft management console this is a funny thing microsoft added mmc in like windows NUMBER_TOKEN and i believe the idea is that if your program is meant to be deployed to like an enterprise network mmc has all these built-in features for like multi-computer management where you can just
NO_SEGMENT_TOKEN
