  1. Why are cumulative updates from Microsoft causing my device ID to change.


    On my Alienware Laptop, certain cumulative updates from Microsoft are causing my device ID to change. The place I work for uses that ID to issue a $500 license for the use of the software and every time the ID changes, I have to purchase a new $500 License. How do we make this stop. It also causes bitlocker to lock me out of my computer as well. There has to be a way to make this stop as its costing me time and money. If nothing can be done, I'll have to go to a different operating system

    Change Device ID on ATI Card

    Hello. I'm working on a small project to make a TV work with my system. I'm on to a method that looks promising. However, to proceed I need to change the device ID of my x300. I've used atiflash to change the subsys ID (the -mi switch) and RaBiT. RaBiT let me change the ID a little (from 5B60 to 5B61) but that didnt change a thing.

    I suppose that I ideally want Windows to wonder what the heck the card is. I dont want it to know that its a x300. I know the device IDs from the driver installation files which is why I changed it to 5B61.

    Is there any software out there to change the device ID?

  4. Why are cumulative updates from Microsoft causing my device ID to change.

    Microsoft controversially brings cumulative updates to W7 & W8.1

    AND for Poor People in POOR countries with poor internet speed and budget /bandwidth problems

    10 x 100mb downloads spread out over time for these people may be do'able
    1x 1 gig cumulative Download may in those circumstances be not possable

    Not Every one has or can afford mega Bandwidth for these mega updates

    ESPECIALLY IF MICROSOFT'S UPDATE fu&KS YOUR pC and your left to redownload
