the following steps:

Step #1: click “Start”, “Control Panel” then click “Performance and Maintenance” then click

Step #2: On the Global Tab, make sure “Use one setting for all drives” is clicked. Next, check the

Step #3: Please select the “Ok” button at the bottom to save the settings.

C. Display Properties: You need to make sure the correct settings are enabled before you run Ezwatch
