Can not get Radeon X800 XT Platinum to work on Vista 32 Bit Ultimate after install

[Gazza_UK]

Hi,

I have an ATI Radeon X800XT Platinum 256MB AGP graphics card. Yet for some
reason windows is stopping the driver from running as it reports a problem.

The latest drivers from ATI dated 29th Jan 2007 or even the update from
Windows Update...makes no odds, neither work.

In device manager the device is dropped down with the yellow exclamation
mark and the message is:

"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and
to see if there is a solution available."

When sending for one, it comes back with no solution?

Also after installing the drivers, ATI keeps popping up a window with this
error message:

"No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning
properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for your ATI hardware."

I am at a loss as to what the problem can be. If anyone has any ideas then
it would be very much appreciated.

A ticket has also been logged with ATI. But I thought I would post in here
too, just in case someone has also had the same problem.

I am running an AMD 64 4600+ X2 Dual Core CPU, with 2GB RAM and a 320GB
Seagate Barracuda SATA HDD.

Kind regards,

Gazza.

I think you installed both the ATI drive and the craplet software that
monitors it for ATI.
The craplet must not work right.

Go to Programs in the Control Panel and remove anything ATI.

Then go to the ATI site and do one of two things:
-Download just the driver and not the big package
-See if they say to install some .NET package first or something.

ATI have now responded and the issue is with the Nvida Nforce3 Chipset on my
Motherboard. So they have now washed their hands of it and passed it onto
Nvidia.

I have since purchased an Nvidia Graphics Card and all is OK now with a 4.3
rating

Gazza UK hi,
I have the exact same problem.

Please tell me which Nvidia graphics card you bought, giving as much
description of the card as possible, so that I will know exactly which card
it is.

Many thanks
