  • Only if I can give you half a point for your open ended question. :) To me it seems you asked for "any ideas" on how you could fix it by using "a registry key or driver file somewhere" - I pointed out a registry key that you then used to set it. What more do you want? Blood? :) I guess I'll have to include negating 32-bit word hexadecimal number lessons in my next answer. ;) Commented Feb 11, 2010 at 3:07

    This is because it is the positive integer representation of a negative integer. Look up 2's complement if you are interested in knowing how to represent the negative number, and then treat the bits as an unsigned integer to get the correct input value.
