I play a lot of half life mods and i have the same fault
first turn off fast rights in display control panel if this dont work play in 800*600 as for ur 3dmark u should always make sure all nvidia drivers r total removed ( pain as for ur problem now when u reinstall ur hard drive aways install 1st os 2nd Motherboard Drivers u MUST do this before anythink else 3rd if u can go online update windows ser Pack 1 plus all updates 4th all ur drivers "Nidhal Abaza" wrote in message ... I just installed an ATI 9800 Pro All In Wonder video card. It replaces a Ti-4200 I had that died. I am pretty sure the installation did not go well. First of all, my 3DMark 2001 score came in at about 9000. Not to get too hung up on scores, but my Ti-4200 scored a 9100. Seems like my 9800 should blow that score away. And whenever I fire up Half-Life, it only appears in the upper left hand corner of the screen (about 25% of the screen). I don't think there is anything wrong with the card itself. I suspect the problem is this: the manual says to make sure the proper AGP controller driver is installed before installing the card. However, I couldn't do that, because I was replacing a dead video card and had no way of booting up without the ATI card. I did a fresh install of Win XP, installed the ATI drivers/software from the disc, then installed the updated versions from the website, and then tried to install the AGP driver that came with my motherboard's CD. I got an error that said "A software error occurred: Cannot Install Intel graphics driver on current graphics device". Does anyone know how to get around this? |

ATI 9800 Pro installation woes - please help

Are there any "?" in the device manager? What does it say about the AGP controller in there? Does the MB have on board video? You might be trying to install a chipset driver for the wrong version chipset as it sounds like that driver is for a version with the "intel extream graphics" on it. If it does have on board video, reenable it in the bios (while you still have the card in place so you can see!), shut down, reconect the monitor to the MB, install the drivers, shutdown, turn off the onboard video in the bios and reinstall the card.. That should get the chipset drivers in place so the video drivers can work right. -- Stacey |
