Doesn't work like that in any of the GNU/Linux distros I install in 
graphics shops at Mousetown, Universal. All the movies since "Titanic - 
1997" have been rendered in Linux.  No windoze, it doesn't function!

So, here's proof, recent MS windows patches added such a purposeful 
degrading resolution  aspect to try to enforce DRM?

If we're doing it on windoze, and joining the evil empire, might as well 
BUY star office, for the support, and the workarounds that defeat the 
dark lord multiple convicted felon Microsoft.

When you do business with convicted crooks, con-artists, thieves, who 
invent their own rules, you will get these issues.

Look, you're dealing with very evil people there, in felonMicrosoft, who 
think nothing of grinding a smaller competitor into dust.  You would be 
wise to use a champion who has at least won some battles, like Sun 
Microsystems.

My choice is FREE CHOICE, and so, I don't support the virus magnet, DRM 
master monopolists.  http://pclinuxos.com includes Open Office.
