ATI Mobility Radeon 9600

[Guest]

I have a ATI Radeon 9600 installed on my laptop which is running the 32bit
version of Vista the problem im getting though is when the drivers are
installed and running vista is verrrryyyy SLOW (even if i disable all
servies)!!! i will click something and it takes about a minute before it
takes effect, but if i disable the video card or install the standard SVGA
drivers everything runs just fine, but of course i get no 'special effects'
i've tried installing the drivers from ATI, didn't work orig. Vista drivers
didn't work, anybody ran into this before?? what can i do??
i've been looking on the internet for days and havent found anything.
Laptop is a 3.2 GHz P4 w/ HT, 1.5 GB of RAM, 100 GB HDD, should run Vista
somewhat....

One other problem U might be having if you have 2 Slots for your RAM and not
using identical RAM Cards ? I have the same radeon 9600 mine works well with
Beta

i have one expandable, 512 MB is built in and i added 1GB on. how would that
affect it though?? how much VRAM does your card have?? what drivers are you
using and are you using a 32bit system or a 64bit system??

I have two Kingston HyperFX 512 DDR PC3200 in slots 2 and 3. Should i move
one to slot 1? I havent had any issues in XP with this configuration so i
didnt think it would be a problem in Vista.

Well, i finally got it to work. NOTE: the proceeding is all done in safe
mode. I Unistalled all ATI drivers, even writing down the files that were in
the system32 folder and system32/drivers folder and deleting those too (the
come back any way but still.) I then went to my xp drive and copied some ati
drivers from there. I started with the oldest driver first which was 5-10.
I used the single installes were the driver install and control panel install
are seprate. i then used the installer in the driver only install and
restarted Vista into normal state. When it finished loading it was working
^^. It detected that the Raedon 9600 Series was my display adapter and
brougth my rating up to 2 (still cant use aero theme though T_T, im still
working on that one.) I hope this helps any who read it!
