ATI Control Panel Failed to Initialize
Hello! On start up, I am getting an error message that says this: ATI control panel failed to initialize because ATI drivers could not be found or are not working properly. ATI control panel will close now. From what I have read, it looks like I just need to dowload the drivers from ATI technologies website - but I don't know which drivers to download. How do I figure this out? Also - any info on what the heck the ATI control panel does would be helpful too! Any help would be much appreciated!! Thanks so much!

ATI Control Panel Failed to Initialize
OK - so I have a ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M for ADM processors When I go to the ATI website, there is no mention of this product in their drivers download section - or any mention at all of this product in fact. I was reading on another forum that omega drivers will support this card - but am nervous about downloading it. To download the driver it says that first I have to uninstall the ATI control panel completely. Will this cause any more harm to my system? I don't want to screw it up any further! Any suggestions?? Thanks! -- Hallie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hallie's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?u=52205 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=994029 http://forums.techarena.in |

ATI Control Panel Failed to Initialize
That is a chip set not a graphics card. What kind of computer do you have?
Is it an AMD laptop? If so you have an Integrated ATI Radeon X300 card. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.paulsxp.com www.paulsxp.com/forum http://www.supportspace.com/home/aff...s.s2?aiu=paulm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Hallie" wrote in message ...

ATI Control Panel Failed to Initialize
That is an integrated chipset (part of your motherboard), not a separate
graphics card. Go to http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html select your Windows version in the left column, then in the middle column, select Integrated/motherboard. In the third column scroll and you will find Radeon Xpress 200M, listed. Select that one, click Go to get to the download page. The ATI catalyst control center requires .NET Framework 2.0 to be installed on your PC. If you don't have that installed (possible reason why the control center is not initialising) you can get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Install that first, go to Windows update to get any updates for it. Uninstall ATI software using add/remove software, restart your PC (it will start in VGA mode, 640x480 screen resolution), then install what you downloaded from ATI/AMD site.

ATI Control Panel Failed to Initialize
Holy Moly, I'm sooooo glad I came up on this! I too am having this problem, it has been driving me nuts! I can't even scroll down this page without it lagging like a wave, and this is with every page of anything. And on restart I get the message about ATI control panel failed to etc..... I have a Compaq Presario 061, Windows XP. Now mind this, I don't know much about computers, so anything has to pretty much spelled out for me, sorry. I tried to see what kinda card I have, all I could find was geforce6200?? but under where the info about the card would be it just has VGA, and unkown?? I'm confused. I have looked for the drivers with no luck. And with the scrolling issue it takes a 30 minutes to look at one page. Could someone please help me. I would appreciate it so much!! -- PresleyBlue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PresleyBlue's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/presleyblue.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-x...ort/994029.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

ATI Control Panel Failed to Initialize
I took my computer to my local technician to have the problem corrected. He re-installed the control panel and the problem was over! He felt that when some new Windows component was updated, an incompatibility resulted in the erasure of the control panel. I had found the site on my computer where the control panel was located, but it would not operate, so I am assuming that my technician was correct. Good luck. -- Lenora ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenora's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/lenora.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-x...ort/994029.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
