Configuring the Device Driver

Note: In Windows 7, Windows 8, and Vista, you must have administrator privileges to run
the Open Layers Control Panel. When you double-click the Open Layers Control Panel icon,
you may see the Program Compatibility Assistant. If you do, select Open the control panel
using recommended settings. You may also see a Windows message asking you if you want
to run the Open Layers Control Panel as a "legacy CPL elevated." If you get this message,
click Yes.
If you do not get this message and have trouble making changes in the Open Layers Control
Panel, right click the DTOLCPL.CPL file and select Run as administrator. By default, this file
is installed in the following location:
