Drivers for ATI Radeon 7500 card ?
* I'm posting again, I do not see my post anywhere on the newsgroup *
seems it didn't get posted. Hello there, Yesterday I tried to install the latest ATI drivers on my cousin's ATI Radeon card- which is the 7500 series. I went to ATI's site, did the usual thing, find drives, clicked XP for the OS, then the Radeon family, then took the latest and ONLY drivers they have listed there. There is no info about what actual cards the drivers support. I'm puzzled. After downloading these drivers and installing them, - upon reboot the computer screen was completely screwed up - the video was unreadable, and the screen was scrolling like an old TV screen. I rebooted into safe mode, and uninstalled the drivers. Any clue to what I did wrong ? Before installing these drivers, I downloaded the latest MMC ( version 8.7 I think it was) - I chose the latest one, - installed that, then installed the Remote software for remote control, - version 2.1 it told me the Remote 21. software could not run because video card drivers were outdated, so it was at this point that i downloaded the latest video drivers - ran those, and the problem arose that i describe above. Any help is much appreciated. Richard. |

The MMC 8.x does not support cards prior to the Radeon 9xxx series without a purchase: http://www.ati.com/products/multimediacenter/faq.html#6 And the Remote wonder 2.1 needs at least MMC 8.5: http://www.ati.com/support/products/...derdriver.html David -- Fix Outlook Express så det citerer ordentligt: http://flash.to/oe-quotefix/ Fix lange links og signaturadskiller: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=331923 |

Any help is much appreciated. Richard. Richard, before you installed the new drivers, did you first uninstall the MMC software and then the control panel and display drivers you had loaded? Also, did you ensure that you had DirectX 9.x and Windows Media Encoder 9.0 installed? In addition, many people (myself included) would recommend you do a good system clean before changing drivers/software; ATi's uninstall routines, like those of some other software and hardware providers, leave much to be desired. Even after an uninstall you'll still find a slew of registry entries and files on your system that should have been removed. Incidentally, I presume that if you're trying to install MMC, your cousin's is an AIW or a VIVO card? patrickp |
