Dual Drive is Stuck in DirectX Mode and Doesn't Work
Dual Drive's default rendering system is OpenGL. This can be changed in Options -> Graphics -> Display Driver. On some systems where OpenGL doesn't work, changing this option to DirectX can fix certain problems or improve performance. DirectX mode is not a fully supported mode in Dual Drive, and using DirectX mode may lead to crashes, or even prevent you from being able to open Dual Drive.
If you change Dual Drive to DirectX mode, and then are unable to open Dual Drive to change the display driver back to OpenGL, please follow these steps to reset your Dual Drive preferences:
Dual Drive as part of Alive
Delete the DDXprefs.cs from the user Documents/Alive Sessions/ folder.
Dual Drive Standalone (original Dual Drive)
Delete the prefs.cs and prefs.cs.dso files. The file location depends on your version of Windows:
Windows XP: Program Files/Dual Drive Pro WD/racing/client/
Windows Vista or 7: Users/[user name]/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program Files/Dual Drive Pro WD/racing/client/
Note for Vista or 7: The AppData folder is hidden. The easiest way to open this folder is to type %LOCALAPPDATA% in your start menu search box, then hit enter.

Tropical Heat
Spend ten minutes a day playing relaxing heart rate feedback games to reduce stress, optimize breathing, and improve performance at work.
Alive is terrific for kids and teens. So far I have used it primarily with 11 to 16 year-olds. With other systems, I could never get an accurate heart rate signal from many younger children because they were so wiggly, and I often had to have very short training sessions because of their short attention span. With Alive, these children sit quietly and don't want to stop, even after 55 minutes. To quote one young boy who caught on immediately: "I have to stay calm even when things get hard."
We got a call from the school principal: Our son is doing better! I'm sure that Dual Drive has been a factor in his improvement. I love watching him calm down and breathe.
