Group = "Extended base"
Start = 0x00000001
Type = 0x00000001
and may, as described below, also contain:
PIXCI = "-IM <memorysize>"
Create an entry such as:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\System\EPIXXCWT (version 2.1+)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\System\EPIXXCNT (version 2.0-)
This entry must contain:
EventMessageFile = "%SystemRoot%\System32\IoLogMsg.dll"
TypesSupported = 0x00000007
Shut down and restart Windows.

3.4.2. Windows NT - Frame Buffer Memory Allocation
Under Windows NT, frame buffer memory must be allocated during Windows' initialization.
The requested frame buffer memory size must be specified in the Registry entry described above, using an entry named ''PIXCI'',
such as:
PIXCI = "-IM <memorysize>"
replacing the ''<memorysize>'' with the desired memory size in Kbytes. If no frame buffer memory size is specified, a default size
of 4 megabytes is used. Windows must be rebooted for the new specification to take effect.
Windows NT limits the maximum amount of allocatable frame buffer memory, dependent upon what other devices are installed,
the total PC memory size, and other factors. Using the Control Panel's Device Manager to select Boot or System priority startup
for EPIXXCWT.SYS (EPIXXCNT.SYS for version 2.0 and earlier) allows more frame buffer memory to be allocated than
selection of Automatic startup.
Less than the requested amount of frame buffer memory may be provided by Windows. If no memory could be allocated, XCAP
will not run, stating ''Can't allocate frame buffer memory''. Otherwise, within XCAP, the number of available frame buffers can be
checked under
PIXCI®
,
PIXCI® Video Setup
,
Resolution
. As the frame buffer memory is allocated once during Windows
initialization; the contents of frame buffers are retained as XCAP is closed and restarted, but lost if Windows is restarted.
3.4.3. Windows NT - Forcible Frame Buffer Memory Allocation
As described above, frame buffer memory allocated by EPIXXCWT.SYS (EPIXXCNT.SYS for version 2.0 and earlier) during
Windows startup may be limited to a small percentage of total PC memory.
A larger frame buffer memory can be obtained by limiting the amount of memory recognized by Windows NT, and then
instructing EPIXXCWT.SYS (EPIXXCNT.SYS for version 2.0 and earlier) to explicitly use a section of memory without
allocating it from Windows NT:
Edit C:\BOOT.INI, restricting Windows NT to use no more than a set amount of memory: by copying an existing
configuration line, adding /MAXMEM=XX (where XX is in Mbytes) and changing the prompt name, such as changing:
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(7)\WINNT="Windows NT V 4.00"
to
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(7)\WINNT="Windows NT V 4.00 [NT=64M PIXCI=256M]" /MAXMEM=64
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(7)\WINNT="Windows NT V 4.00"
Do not copy this new line as shown above; the first portion of the line must be copied from an existing configuration line in
your C:\BOOT.INI file. The text between quotes appears as a boot selection prompt, use of ''[NT=64M PIXCI=256M]'' is a
suggested reminder, but not required.
Also in C:\BOOT.INI, change the timeout selection to be greater than 0:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
Otherwise the BOOT.INI configuration options will not be shown when Windows starts.
