Installing XP Pro SP2 ed and ati graphics card problems
I have just built a new system with xp pro sp2 ed software - My Hardware is
below: AMD A64 4400 x 2 CPU 2 x 512mb DDR pc4400 ddr (G.Skill) MSI K8N Diamond SLI motherboard (Nvidia NForce 4 chipset) ATI X1800XT 512mb PCI-Express Graphics Card XP Pro SP2 Eddition The xp installation goes without problem and the NF4 drivers install without error. I then install all windows updates including .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 - all fine. All the hassle happens when I then install the graphics drivers version 5.13 which includes the Catalyst Control Centre. After these drivers have been installed windows boots to the XP Screen (Black Screen with blue status bar) and just hangs - the blue bar keeps moving but thats it - I'm on my fifth install and am now wishing I'd stuck to nvidia cards. Can anyone advise please? Is there a patch or some magical solution? I've googled the issue and its not uncommon but I have yet to find a solution. Sorry for cross posting, desperate to get this resolved. TIA Chris

Installing XP Pro SP2 ed and ati graphics card problems
I've heard that ATI products sometimes have problems with Nvidia drivers.
You could try the following if you're willing to reinstall your system again: 1. Before reinstalling, go to your BIOS and make sure that your on-board video is disabled and that your initial monitor is set for the ATI slot. 2. After reinstalling you'll be looking at a VGA image on your monitor and would normally be installing all of your MB drivers. This time, do not install the Nvidia drivers - they shouldn't be needed. 3. Completely update your OS via Windows Update, and then go to the ATI site and download the newest versions of their drivers and Catalyst suite and install using them instead of your installation disk. 4. Cross your fingers and reboot. I hope this helps... "Grateful Gift" wrote in message ...

I have not tried 5.12 or omega - what is the difference with these? This has been very, very frustrating - will ditching .net 2.0 make any difference? The problems seem to revolve around ccc.... tia

Installing XP Pro SP2 ed and ati graphics card problems
I just remembered something that may help.
enter the BIOS of your BOARD,enter cell menu push and hold...Shift..then F2..then ALT..then..F3..(U must have all 4 pressed down when you finish..it may take a try or 2 to get it).a new menu may appear depending on your board..there should be an option called... NV-ATI speed up....make sure it is disabled...
