ati probs

tagguer · 06-20-2006, 05:01 PM

I have a asus a8v board with a amd 3500.socket 939 I am running win x64 I have an ati 9200se video card that was working great. I installed the newest drivers and now it won't work at all. I went to driver guide and dl drivers from there and they all said i needed to be administrator to install. I was on my administrator account. not a user with admin privlages. The card is an agp so i can't change slots. I have uninstalled the card and put it back in through add remove hardware. Any thoughts or ideas on the subject would be great

roll them back. sometimes newer drivers dont work with older cards.
that's definitely considered an older card lol

Use the cat-uninstaller to make the system clean from any driver related leftovers. Then freshly install whatever driver rev you find best. With such a low end card you wont benefit much (performance vise) by always getting the latest rev.

i've had the same problem with my 9200SE
go to www.ati.com
make sure you don't download the Winxp driver if you have Winxp MCE
there is an uninstaller they offer
or simply go to add\remove programs and try to remove it yourself
and install the new driver
