Can't install latest drivers for Radeon X1300
I'm having trouble installing the latest drivers for my ATI X1300
Radeon card. I went through the steps of removing the old drivers (add/remove, deleting the ati files and directory in my windows\system32\drivers and other areas. And I also removed anything to do with ATI from my registry), like the help files and other forums said. However, when I install the new drivers and reboot, I get the Windows XP loading screen and then it keeps rebooting. I can't do a normal reboot and have to revert to the last known good configuration. Ultimately, I have to reinstall the original driver CD that came with the card. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I was searching around, and the final solution was, of course, to reinstall my OS, something I can't do right now. Is there another method around this? Thanks. |

Sounds like your doing it right but check out ati.com/install. I've had problems just from not cleaning out the Temp folder. It's easy to miss a step. If theirs any chance of version mixing in C:\ati\support, clean it out as well and start over. Make sure you have the latest chipset drivers for your M/B. |

Can't install latest drivers for Radeon X1300
Download and install : DH Driver Cleaner Professional Edition (website link
below). This cleans every bit of ATI software on your computer. Then do a fresh install the latest drivers. Same thing happened to me. after using the Driver Cleaner software and installing the latest drivers, it worked fine. http://www.drivercleaner.net "Unruly Canuck" wrote in message ...

I have used the Omega drivers through many versions. This is the first time that I have had problems (very much like yours). My card is a 9800SE softmodded to 8 pipelines. -- Julian Richards www.richardsuk.f9.co.uk Website of "Robot Wars" middleweight "Broadsword IV" |

I tried using driver cleaner, but same results. I just bought a new LCD monitor? Could that be it? The default drivers work? Maybe it's a bug in the driver. |

No, it can't be the LCD monitor. Maybe it's a corrupted download, download
again. Or try a version step down. "Unruly Canuck" wrote in message ...

I'll try the next version down like you said. Someone else posted here that he was experiencing the same problems. Said that it was a beta driver. Probably some bugs. |
