Hi I am new here and have a problem. I have a x700 128m pci-express. my
card was working fine, I got a lcd widescreen monitor for my birthday and there was a setting in the control panel that a friend told me I had to check to make it work right with games, center tiles or something like that. well anyway my version of the drivers did not have this option, so I decided to install the latest and the greatest evolution of the ATI drivers, followed instructions uninstalled the old ones ( that worked ) and removed all ati stuff from the computer and reinstalled the new drivers to find a severe incorrect inf, cannot find the proper hardware error, needless to say I cannot at this time install any freaking drivers, even every old driver on the ATI site comes up with the same heart wrenching error. I am not a wimp to run to the newsgroup without any effort, I have---- reformatted installed, removed and reinstalled dot.net 2.0 tried every driver on the ati site ( for the x700) 7.1 to 6.4 I think tried driver and bundle including contol panel removed every card from my system except the x700, even disabled the onboard NIC my mobo has onboard video, but it has been disabled since day one and the x700 has worked for two years before this after the software installed and failed went to device manager and tried to manually install driver, pointing to the ATI folder where the INF was considered shooting my computer several times have screamed several times have refined my use of four letter words still I am in standard vga driver mode, not really enjoying my new monitor, havent' played a game in a while, need some help if it will help intel pent 4 extreme edition 3.40 intel d925xcv board latest bios 28 nov 2006 512 of ddr2 mem (corsair) old sb live audio card to add usb ports 2 west dig hard drives dvd burner oh yeah this is crucial 1.44 floppy drive and of course ATI X700 128 PCI-Express please please any help would be coolest reply here or |

Go back to the one previous to the changes made and that should put you back where you were prior to the change. It may or may not help, but is certainly worth trying. Next: rebooting to "last known good installation" if the restore point doesn't work. . It's saved me from having to reload everything several times. This should take you back to the previous configuration. Also a good back up image *may* work wonders when all else fails. I've had about a 50% success rate on image backups. And one final point that *may* save you from having to completely reinstall everything. *REPAIR* and I don't mean from the repair console., but repair from the install point. When you start and install the first batch of prompts will contain the prompt for the repair console. Say no and wait until it wants to install. Tell it yes. It should find the original install and ask if you want to repair it or do a full install. Try the repair. You will have to reinstall all the updates and most likely drivers, but it beats having to install all the applications...usually. Between the four I've had pretty good luck. OTOH it seems like there's one more that should be here for system recovery. However at this point I'd get out the original driver disks. Moboard and video card. Make sure all the new video drivers are in a single directory. tried driver and bundle including contol panel removed every card from my system except the x700, even disabled the onboard NIC my mobo has onboard video, but it has been disabled since day one and the x700 has worked for two years before this after the software installed and failed went to device manager and tried to manually install driver, pointing to the ATI folder where the INF was considered shooting my computer several times have screamed several times No guarantee for what follows: IF you have all the downloaded drivers for the video card and mo board and the BIOS is up-to-date. Flashing BIOS can be a truely traumatic event. You can *try* going into the "Device manager". Make sure there are no yellow question marks. If there are, they may be a guide to your problem. If there is a yellow question nark, right click on it and select (reinstall driver). If this doesn't work try removing all the offending hardware from within Device Manager. Then tell it to detect hardware, or just reboot and let it do the detection then. When it comes to the video card direct it to the directory containing all of the downloaded drivers. If it doesn't find a driver, have it check the mother board drivers. The driver it needs should be in one place or the other. Don't forget the disk with the original video card drivers either. There may be something back there it needs. As I said, these are suggestions and come with no guarantee. Any time you are in there at this level there are risks, but I'd guess at this point there are the lesser of two evils. Good Luck, have refined my use of four letter words still I am in standard vga driver mode, not really enjoying my new monitor, havent' played a game in a while, need some help if it will help intel pent 4 extreme edition 3.40 intel d925xcv board latest bios 28 nov 2006 512 of ddr2 mem (corsair) old sb live audio card to add usb ports 2 west dig hard drives dvd burner oh yeah this is crucial 1.44 floppy drive and of course ATI X700 128 PCI-Express please please any help would be coolest reply here or Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com |
