Asus A7N8X Deluxe, Win 2000, Radeon 9600XT -> Problem
Hi
I have just put together a system containing Asus A7N8X Deluxe Athlon (Barton) 2500+ Sapphire Radeon 9600XT 512MB Crucial Ram I installed Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Then installed the Nvidia Nforce2 drivers supplied with the Mboard. All was well up until this stage. Next I installed the latest Win2K catalyst drivers for the Radeon. Now when I try to log into windows at the Ctrl-Alt-Del prompt it fails. Or rather it just displays the login prompt without any error. When I uninstall the catalyst drivers the problem goes away. I was able to install the catalyst drivers and had them working fine only when the nvidia nforce2 drivers had not been installed. Are there any known issues with these drivers and windows 2000? I am very reluctant to spend money on Win XP if there is a simple solution to this problem. Thanks |

But that usually causes delayed write failures, speaking from XP experience. Thought you might have 2000 server set with server memory settings. -- My huckleberry friend, Moon River and, Steve [Inglo] |

I tried the 3.9 drivers with my new 9600xt and the system would not work
with my nvidia nforce2 driver motherboard either. The 3.8 does work just fine and that came with my Sapphire. Maybe we need to wait for 4.0 or later drivers.

I'm using the 3.9 catalyst drivers and the latest nvidia nforce2 drivers. cheers |

I've found that NONE of the current ATI Catalyst drivers (3.7, 3.8
and/or 3.9) work with Windows 2000 Server edition. Note this only affects the "Server" editions of 2000. This is a bug which should be solved by ATI or don;t they support "Server" editions ?

The first time I was simply installing all the software and got a message saying that some file (begins with ATI ends with .DLL) is not logo approved and contact the manufacturer for an update. I continued anyway and it wouldn't boot afterwards. Just does a memory dump. I restored from Ghost, tried installing just the driver. No warning this time but wouldn't reboot. I contacted the manufacturer and am awaiting any sort of resolution. |
