1) Open Regedit by going to **Start/Run/regedit** 2) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\VIDEO 3) Look for the name: \Device\Video0 4) Look at the cooresponding Data value. It will look something like this: \Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{52BE6E44-53E9-4A0B-AF3C-70A73F8AD1CE}\0000 5) Make note of the value in the brackets and the instance at the end of the line. You may want to print out this branch (cntrl-p) to easily reference these values later. In this example it is: {52BE6E44-53E9-4A0B-AF3C-70A73F8AD1CE}\0000 6) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video 7) There may be several sub-categories. Select the one that matches the value in the brackets you noted in step 5. In this example it is: {52BE6E44-53E9-4A0B-AF3C-70A73F8AD1CE} 8) Select the instance you noted in step 5. In this example it is: \0000 "New Value #1". 10) Right click the "New Value #1" and rename it to** =NoAdjustedPitch=
 * 9) Right-click this same instance (\0000) and select New/DWORD Value. This will create a value called

13) Exit regedit and reboot. 14) The Briefing screens and maps should now be working properly.
 * 11) Double-click the new NoAdjustedPitch and assign it a Hexadecimal value of 1**.

After pondering this issue for a while, I took the plunge and tried the fix you suggested and also given in Col Landers thread, and I'm happy to report that just as it worked for him in Win 2K, the NoAdjustedPitch Dword also works a treat for XP!

For others the fix as follows:

In regedit, navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Services/nv or better (ControlSet001 might not be the current one): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/nv

In nv, open the Device0 folder

Right-click on this folder to create New Dword Value and re-name this value **NoAdjustedPitch**


 * Right-click on 'NoAdjustedPitch' to assign a Hexadecimal value of 1**

Exit regedit and re-boot.

That's it!
