do i delete ati and ati technologies? would it just be as good to uninstall the driver from device manager? right now i'm scared if i do the wrong thing when i reboot i'll have no screen. and i downloaded ati
thank you for the quick replys but i just deleted the keys and rebooted and it still says it can't find a driver for my system, please contact computer manufacturer
Which drivers did you download? ATI or Omega? Basically...once you reboot...you will have no drivers running...then you do a clean install of the new drivers
No...you uninstall from Control Panel...Add/Remove Programs. Run the ATI Software Uninstall Utility...it will remove the drivers...reboot. After reboot you clean the registry...yes...ATI and ATI Technologies...and reboot one more time...then install the new drivers. I am online and monitoring your progress...any questions simply respond...
When you reboot...you will have video...XP has native drivers (non accelerated VGA drivers that it will run on). You will be prompted to install and search for drivers...cancel it and install the downloaded ones...
I recommend that before you install the new drivers.. Then run regedit and delete ATI from HKEY_Current User/Software and HKEY_Local Machine/Software...reboot and install the Catalyst 6.12 from ATI. I have run the ATI drivers on my E1505 since day 1.
Absolutely. All you would need to is uninstall the ATI drivers and reinstall the Dell ones. I found that my performance on my x1400 is better with the ATI drivers. Seems that most OEMS like Dell, HP and the lot...seem do downclock their drivers...not sure why...
ok thats it for me tonight. I've tried twice and haven't been able to cancel the drivers. When I restart the little pop up window says found new hardware and I can't seem to cancel it. maybe theres an option somewhere to prevent auto install
No No...you're doing it right...let the little pop up go...then a windows installation window will open and you close that. Without the pop up...you won't get the VGA install...that's fine...it's when it finally installs the VGA card that a big window pops up looking for drivers...then you close that and install your download
The big window may never appear. After the pop ups are done...it might say something like a VGA card has been installed...or some other message. After the popups are done...you install the ATI drivers
The addition that I had was to clean the registry because "sometimes" ATI drivers duplicate registry entries that can cause lag and other issues. Cleaning the registry and rebooting keeps that from happening...
99% of the time...ATI sends you to your OEM website to download their drivers. Whether Dell, Gateway, HP or any other OEM...they make their own adjustments to the drivers. The download I gave you was straight from the ATI ftp server...updated every month.
alright thanks a lot. This was a lot more help than I was expecting.
As it turned out my biggest problem was thinking since I went to the ATI site and downloaded the driver I didn't have to download from your link, as I thought they were going to be the same thing
