[MPlayer-cygwin] winvidix dhahelper.sys problem

I have found the same problem. After looking in registry, i have found
that in the service manager the path to the driver is bad so windoze
cannot load it. if you correct it to System32\Drivers\dhahelper.sys
than it is ok. Sasha please alter dhasetup.c so that it will work well
:)
Strange thing that first time i have run dhasetup install, it worked.
but not any more... hm.... windoz rulez...

Other: on my Gef2Ti (NV15) the vidix drivers cannot load even if
dhahelper is installed.

The vidix init part:

vidixlib: PROBING: E:/Program Files/MPlayer/mplayer/vidix/nvidia_vid.so
[nvidia_vid] Found chip: NV15 [GeForce2 Ti]
vidixlib: E:/Program Files/MPlayer/mplayer/vidix/nvidia_vid.so probed o'k

It says unable to init mtrr, i used both version (with and without
mtrr) from the mplayerhq ftp, but they behave the same.

And the crash:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 8 in module: flip_page
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
