AIW RADEON : AtiInfo.exe Freezes comp. Can't install any new drivers.
Win2k
MB: Tyan Thunder K7 (S2462UNG) All In wonder RADEON The drivers that came with the card have worked, and have been the one's that I've been using. However, when I go to try and install one of the latest CAT. drivers (wxp-w2k-catalyst-7-94-030917m-011434c.exe), the mouse freezes, the keyboard doesn't do anything, and even if left for 20 min, nothing happens. My only option is reset. Of course, trying to fill out a problem report to send into ATI, the report generator also freezes, as well as AtiInfo.exe. I can only assume that the driver install, as well as the problem report is running AtiInfo, which is some how failing to operate, hence I can't get anywhere with anything. I've un-installed everything in "Remove programs", got it to the point where detects a new vid card each reboot and nice 640x480 screen. Still with the same results. Help please. |

Ok, scratch that. Fresh install of 2k, just formatted my HD. I tried to
install the cd that came with my card. It did the exact same thing that the new drivers have been doing, freezing. I'm led to believe that my card is bad, unless any of you could make a comment about what to try next?

Yes, I've installed DX9.
However, that was after I jerryrigged my drivers by forcing win2k to install the .inf that was in the ATI\Driver\2KXP_INF of the Cat. package. (Note, NOT going through ATI's setup, going through win2k's "Update driver" in the properties of the video card) Should I have installed DX9 first, and then installed the drivers?

Ok, one more time.
Riped out everything but video card and the two on-board lan cards. (Disabled on board scsi card, PPT, and Serial in bios) Format, Re-installed Win2k Service pack 3 ( I haven't come to like SP4 yet ) DX9 install Install Just the CAT 3.8 capture driver, as was suggested: (http://www2.ati.com/drivers/tv-captu...-10-6217v1.exe) -Run the .exe, it appears to extract some files, and just a half a second after that, FREEZE! Mouse stops responding, keyboard stops responding, a quick whack to the side of the monitor does nothing, nor kick to the cpu.... only option is to reboot. The same thing happens to pretty much anything that I can find from ATI, any of the setup.exe's in the big CAT 3.8 package (\setup.exe ; \WDM \setup.exe ; \Driver\setup.exe ; \CPanel\setup.exe) including their diag tools.

Have you installed the 4 in 1 drivers (ver 4.49)? I have the same card and I
need to have them installed before I install the video drivers, control panel and capture drivers. Hope this helps. "patrickp" - take five to email me wrote in message ...
