ATI Radeon 9600SE Driver install
I have never said I was very bright, but I have been able to install
video drivers many, many times before over the years. I am completing an A7N8X system build. Fairly simple setup Specs*** Win200 SP4 Antec case w/350SL ps A7N8X AMD 2800+ Barton @ 333 ATI Radaon 9600SE 512 Crucial 2700 Lite-on CD/DVD combo WD 80 GB HD ***** I have installed the nForce drivers for the mainboard and the ATI Software. When I boot up, Win2000 indicates "found hardware....". I select select "have disk", however no driver is found on the cd. In Device Manager there is a section Other Hardware with question marks. No entry for Display Adapeter. ATI Site is no help either. Why have I made this so difficult? Thanks for your help, PeteH

Thanks for your help, PeteH so what drivers is it looking for? video? audio? lan? ??? look in device manager and see what devices are loaded with the correct/latest drivers, this will help you narrow down the devices that havent been installed. Did you try pointing the driver dialogue to the folder where you expanded the ATI drivers to? typically c:\ati\support.....you may have to punch down through the folders to find the correct .ini As far as your video drivers.. did you download the latest W2K drivers from ATI and install them yet? you mentioned ATI software, do you mean drivers? http://ati.com/support/drivers/win2k...=11&submit.y=5 It mentions SP4 needs to be installed.

Rathe rthan do that though I would download the latest drivers from the ATI web site. Tell windows to ignore the new hardware and then run the setup file from the new driver install. This will solve your problem. That's a puzzlement. I had Catalyst 4.9 drivers installed on my system. Today, I cannot open up the Catalyst Control Center. It says that there is no ATI driver installed or that it's no functioning properly. So I went to ATI and found that the Radeon-series driver they're currently offering for download is 4.12. We've been through everything from 4.2 to 4.9 over the last year. Why is ATI now back to 4.12. I realize it's WQHL certified, but why the confusing switch in numbering? Is 4.12 really an upgrade from 4.9?? Ron

The last time I counted 12 was a higher number than 9

The ATI Software requires Microsoft.net Framework( whatever that is). Comes as part of the updates. Everything seems to be working now. Thanks again, PeterH

PeteH the .net is needed for the catalyst control panel, which is a hunk of junk at this time, suggest you uninstall it and use omegas drivers. www.omegadrivers.net
