Stupid thing
Hey all,
After installing the newest catalyst, everytime I reboot my machine, the [c:\ati\support] folder opens. Is this a glich or something? Is there an easy way to stop this from happening? TIA John |

Check the startup folder(s) and: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run Even easier, if you're using a win9x: msconfig - startup options Ben -- I'm not just a number. To many, I'm known as a string... |

TIA John That's the folder that the ATi installer unpacks the files to before installing them (and also keeps them as reference for modification/repair). Sounds like, however your install appeared to go, something didn't complete. Were the installs, in fact, completely successful? Try going to Add/Remove Programs and run the ATi uninstall for everything but the display driver, then when InstallShield boots, try running the Repair option. If that doesn't work, uninstall everything and reinstall. This time, make sure each stage has completed: you should allow it to get to the do you want to reboot? option. Also, make sure you uninstall properly first, and follow the ATi instructions for installation, with the proviso that, if your card is an AIW or VIVO and you're installing the drivers separately, follow the old order of capture driver, don't reboot, display driver, reboot, control panel, reboot. Oh, and delete that ATi folder after uninstalling if you have to reinstall. HTH patrickp |
That did it....Thanks
