Hi,
I just despair of installing my new video card.
It's a MSI RX9800 PRO TDI128 with ATI Radeon 9600 Pro chipset.
Everytime I try to install it, I got a code 12 resource conflict and
subsequently the vgsave driver is used.
This happens with the MSI, the latest ATI and the windows buildin drivers.
My configuration is:
Windows XP SP2
elitegroup K7SA Pro
ATLON XP 2200+ @1500MHz, FSB=100
My old gforce 440mx works without any problems
I searched the web on this and found the prolem quite common but most of
the time no solution is presented. Here a small and not complete list of
fixes that worked / don't worked for other people:
2x Buy a new card
1x Buy a new mainboard
1x put the card correctly into the socket
1x set agp aperture to 4M
1x switch off ACPI
0x reinstall Windows
0x reinstall drivers, in special order, etc.
0x removing all other cards
0x disable on board features
0x installing new mainboard driver
0x BIOS update
I tried most of it (except the first two), but nothing showed any effect.
The one thing I spoted is that the resource in question is the memory
range 0x4000000-0x7ffffff ( no, I don't miss a digit). I am no device
driver expert, but it seems to me a strange range for memory mapped IO,
all the other devices like pci are much nearer to the upper end of the
adress space.
Can anybody explain to me the strange memory range? Is my card simply
broken ( Unfortunatly I got no other system to test the card with.)? Is
it a compatibility problem with the main board?
Thanks in advance for anybody trying to help me,
Niklas Schaffrath
