Roadblock when doing the CUDA card enabling hack CS 5.5/CS 6.x
I have a non “officially suported” graphics card (GeForce 635) and am trying to enable mercury playback engine/CUDA acceleration in order to maximize on & improve processing/rendering speed.
What perplexes me is that during the process of implimenting the famous card hack to make a non official card work with MPE, I get stopped each and every time thus far.
I did this sucessfully in the past on at least one other computer. Am currently the process of setting up a new editing machine.
After adding the card name to the cuda supported card text file, it won’t let me save this addition and this appears in notepad “access denied”.
How do include a screen-shot if it’s needed?
How do I overcome this obstacle?
What would prevent me from simply adding another card name to a text file and saving that change?
I have Windows 7 Pro OS.
Thanks in advance and Happy New Year to everyone.

Copy it to the desktop, make your changes to the file and then replace it in its original location.

Thanks for the tip.
Would not have come up with that on my own!

Hi Bruce,
Much simpler than changing the text file is to simple DELETE it! If Adobe doesn’t find the list, it quite simply looks at the display card specs and if it meets basic criteria, then it will just go ahead and use it. Done.
If you can’t edit the text file, perhaps you are not logged in as Administrator? Best to always work in that mode, and disable the UAC business in Windows 7 also.
Thanks

Hi Jeff,
A belated Happy New Years.
I’m wondering how you came up with that solution.
The problem is now solved as I explored UAC permissions.
Always nice to know another trick that may come in handy in the future.
Thanks and I hope all is well.
Bruce
