No 3D Games with XP and Crucial radeon 9700 Pro
Hi
I am running XP Home with a Abit AT7-Max2 motherboard a Pinnacle capture board and a Crucial(ATI) Radeon 9700 Pro Video Card. My HDDs are assigned as Drive F and G. Whenever I boot up I get a message to say that the ATI drivers are not installed and the ATI control panel will not start. Also anything that needs 3D drivers such as the Aquarium screensaver or any 3D games will not work. Under Hardware Devices there are 2 entries under video devices. 1. Radeon 9700 Pro (this is disabled) and 2. Radeon 9700 Pro (enabled). I have tried to delete the secondary/enable the primary and disable the secondary and every other combination that I can think of. Unfortunatly whenever I try this the machine locks into an eternal cycle of reboots just before you would normally see the Windows welcome screen. The drivers are the same for both devices: ATI 12/08/03 Ver 6.14.10.6378. No 1 is allocated PCI Bus 1, device 0, Function 0 and no 2 is PCI Bus 1, Device 0, Function 1. If anyone could help I woyuld appreciate it as this is driving me crazy. Many Thanks |

Try removing the Pinnacle Capture Board. Remove all the old ATI drivers.
Go to www.rage3d.com try a few different ones. Remove the Video Adaptor entry in Device Manager. Let WinXP reinstall it. "Zonker" wrote in message ...

It is supposed to have the two entries as it can drive two monitors. I have been using the ATI version of this card since they came out and have never had to do anything to get it to work correctly other than putting in a slot fan to help cool it.

Thanks for the tip. However, re-enabling the first Radeon is fine until I re-boot. Then I get a STOP hardware error message which is only resolved by "start up using last good configuration" Will try Tip 2 next. -----Original Message----- Zonker wrote: Hi I am running XP Home with a Abit AT7-Max2 motherboard a Pinnacle capture board and a Crucial(ATI) Radeon 9700 Pro Video Card.
