5 TARGA 3000 Technical Advisories
5.1 PCILOCK Boot Option
THIS ADVISORY APPLIES TO ALL CERTIFIED WORKSTATIONS WORKING UNDER NT4
Summary: Adding /PCILOCK switch to BOOT.INI allows Adobe Premiere to launch properly.
Note that this is required for Windows NT but should not be used under Windows 2000.
Procedure:
1. Log onto NT with administrative privileges
2. Locate BOOT.INI. Create a copy in another location for backup
3. Disable Read-Only file attribute
4. Open or edit file in Notepad or Edit.
5. Copy the line for default OS (normally first option)Insert and paste copy in first position and append with
/PCILOCK switch.
After the procedure, the file should look similar to this:
[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 TARGA 3000" /PCILOCK
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo
/sos
6. Save BOOT.INI and close
7. Enable Read-Only file attribute
8. Reboot system
5.2 QuickTime Settings Option
THIS ADVISORY APPLIES TO ALL CERTIFIED WORKSTATIONS WORKING UNDER WINDOWS 2000
Summary: By default, Windows 2000 automatically sets the QuickTime video settings to Direct Draw
mode. The majority of certified video cards support Direct Draw mode, and this is why this setting is selected
by default. By contrast, the TARGA 3000 video overlay drivers (which enable video preview for playback and
capture) has a known conflict with QuickTime settings set to Direct Draw mode. We recommend that prior to
launching Premiere, Speed Razor or edit, please check these settings first.
Symptoms that QuickTime is set improperly:
• Capture hangs consistently
• Overall instability in Premiere
How to access the QuickTime settings:
1. Exit all open applications
2. Open up the control panels (Start->settings->control panels)
3. Open up the QuickTime settings
