I’m sure its been mentioned here but I went ahead and force installed
the XP 9800 pro drivers and walla, everything finally works. The
"adaptor information" displays properly im currently playing doom 3
while browsing the web on the other window. Forget the vista drivers,
forget the ATi drivers for vista just force install the XP drivers and
you will be one happy camper.

I have a Radeon X1300 256MB PCI-E and when I use the Microsoft drivers my
computer starts up black... When I use the ATI drivers... well.. they don't
even install..

Anybody know what the problem is? Device Manager shows an X1300 but it shows
a question mark for VGA Controller

I have the Radeon 9600Pro with 256meg ram. I installed the ATI drivers and
everything was working good, Vista recognized my Dell monitor and primary and
secondary outputs on the 9600.... then.... the next day when I booted up the
computer the drivers disappeared! I tried to uninstall catalyst but it
locked up, rebooted tried again and Vista locked up. Tried to reinstall, it
failed, reinstall again and it failed again. I ended up removing the card
via Control Panel and rebooted, then reinstalled ATI software, so far so good.
I have NOT had any problems kicking up the resolution to 1280 or more.

HIS Hightech X1600XT IceQ here, when I try to install the ATI RC1 drivers,
they don't stick. The installation goes fine, everything says they worked,
but when I reboot my comp, Vista defaults back to the WDDM drivers.

With the WDDM drivers, I get strange random flickering (not the whole screen
just a few random lines towards the top of the display) whenever I start a
program that uses the 3D "stuff." Also with the WDDM drivers, 3DMark only
dispalys the top 2/3rds of the 3D renders. All the various tests show the
FPS/Time/Frame counter at the bottom just fine but the bottom 1/3rd of the
actual rendering is nothing but black. When I installed the HIS included XP
drivers, the flickering and black bar went away but now I can't use Aero :-(

I have an HIS x1600xt IceQ as well, and games only show the top 2/3 or the
picture. however, my ATI drivers DO stay installed without a problem. have
you got the NEWEST ones possible installed? and are they for vista?

You need to give us all the info you can gather. One of those 'numerous
other errors' may help us help you out.....

You know, that issue annoys me to no end. See here, I've got an P4u800-X Asus
MB, 1.5 GB RAM and Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9600 Pro card with 256 M memory -
and Vista just refused to install it! I got code 43 and no Aero + basic
resolutions. No help from Microsoft, ATI drivers are useless and no one can
offer a clear answer - is it video card? Is it motherboard? Is it my
hyper-threading Prescott P4 3Hz CPU?

Why are you using beta drivers, when the regular drivers are available for
download for Vista x86 and x64?

I used both those cards with no problem in Vista x86, but have since
switched to nvidia. Better colour rendition.
