Configuration

This module should auto detect most versions of windows (if you have a problem with this let me know so I can update it). Thus you no longer need to configure the grayed out options. There is also some other tweaks that can be configured such as check resolution and buffer size. For more details on how to configure this refer to the Configuration section.
