256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SUMMARY
This article describes how to manually turn off Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 (SMS) remote control acceleration on a specific computer or on the whole network.



MORE INFORMATION
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To override the SMS site setting on the selected computers, create the  registry key before you install the Remote Control component. To create the registry key, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click Start, click Run, and then in the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
 * 2) Locate the   key.
 * 3) Right-click anywhere in the right pane, click New, and then click DWORD.
 * 4) Type Install Video Driver, and then press ENTER.
 * 5) Right-click Install Video Driver, and then click Modify.
 * 6) In the Edit DWORD Value box, type 0 (zero), and then click OK.

By default, the value for the  key is 1.

The  key can take the following values:

0= Never install driver

1= Install the driver if it is in the driver list

2= Always install the driver, even if it is not in the driver list

With these values, you can force computers to always load the video driver. The acceleration drivers can greatly increase the usability of the Remote Console. Generally, Microsoft recommends that you load the acceleration driver on computers that run Microsoft Windows 2000 or later because the acceleration driver does not depend on the video card manufacturer's driver. With Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and earlier, the acceleration driver depends on the video card's driver. This dependence can cause issues if the video card's driver was programmed incorrectly.
