Re: ExtEscape() problem in Windows Server 2003

Stanjo,

The problem may be that a default installation of Windows 2003 has graphics
acceleration turned completely off by default.
There is a minimum level of acceleration that is required before the
ExtEscape() will function as expected.

To test this simply crank acceleration all the way up:

right click on the desktop and select "Properties"
click the "settings" tab
click the "Advanced" button
click the "Troubleshoot" tab
slide the "Hardware acceleration" slider all the way to the right.

Your code should now work as expected. I don't know if there is any way
around this restriction or if there is a way to change this setting
programatically.

Hello,

ExtEscape() is not working in Windows Server 2003 for driver-specific
codes. It always returns 0.

Same code works ok under W2K, WinXP, WinXP SP2.

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Stanjo
