VMR9 and Overlay not working

[bluespectrum]

I have a very old laptop IBM thinkpad t23. I can not get GBPVR 1.4.7 to run. VMR9 is not supported, I am not sure why I have DirectX9c installed. The overall manager does not work it gives me the dotnet error with the white screen with an red x. It plays all the videos I record via GBPVR that is installed on another machine via VLC player. I can run a lot of programs on the machine Autocad, photoshop ect...Bellow is the computers specs. All I want to do is use the machine as a client only view and playback the recordings I do not want to make any recordings.

Microsoft have various requirements on the machine before VMR is possible, and every modern videocard meets those requirements, but unfortunately I'm guessing this videocard is just too old. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/...S.85).aspx

Is there a way to get the overlay manager to work. I would be fine with an old interface.

Unfortunately the user interface requires VMR9 and Direct3D behind the scene's for the UI, and this cant be avoid.

The old UI didnt require VMR, but development on that was stopped about 2 years ago, and it no longer works.

Bummer..I really like GBPVR

[pBS]

hmm, it does show "D3D Status: Enabled" and accelerated video playback possibilities...
well, from what i can tell, you need updated driver where they fixed vmr compatibility...

[bluespectrum]

Well I got to work using an old version Not pvrx2. now having playback issues I posted a new thread.
