	::Two possibilities: 1) you make a clean install, avoid Xcomutil totally and go for Extender only. It works like a treat. 2) (harder) You download the LATEST Xcomutil 9.7 version, because this can cooperate with Extender. You make a clean install. You copy Extender in the file. Then you run Xcomutil installer, there's a new question "Do you want to use Extender?", you reply Yes. Now, the garbled graphics may still appear, you have to switch it on in Extender or Xcomutil and switch it off in the other one (this worked for me). Personnally, I'd try using Extender's Video pitch=1, and no Xcomutil's loader (reply No on xcusetup). But I cannot recall which way, you'll find it through trial and error.--[[User:Kyrub\|kyrub]] 04:10, 11 May 2011 (EDT)		::Two possibilities: 1) you make a clean install, avoid Xcomutil totally and go for Extender only.
