Settings for DMX-510USB und Windows Vista

The programs DMX-510USB is now working properly under Microsoft Windows Vista. But some settings have been changed:

- Press SHIFT + CTRL + ENTER at the same time
- Type 'Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON' in the command editor window and press ENTER.

To reactivate the integrity check type: 
'Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks OFF' in the command editor 

2. For the DMX-510USB software the compatibility mode for Windows XP has to be set:
