Windows 2000 and ATI RAGE 128 Problem

[RYANMJ]

After I Install The Driver I Go To Change The Resolution, I Get This Error:

The display control panel is unable to change the display settings. The graphics driver returned an unexpected error

Please Can Someone Help Me, This Is Driving Me Crazy!

I have an ati card and never got this message but it sounds like a problem with drivers or dx

[RYANMJ]

When Setup STarts it says i need dx 8.0. does this mean i should install dx 8.0a or the latest version?

latest version is fine.

OTOH - you make sure youre using last Rage 128 driver ati released; I used to have ATi Rage-based All-In-Wonder 8MB card (older version than yours) and AFAIR only very last driver released by ATI worked on W2K.

Also read the readme.txt that comes with the driver; it may have other pre-requisites (i.e. my old ATI A-I-W Radeon card required installation of DAO before the driver; latest ATI cards require .NET Framework; and so on and on - whichin your case might be something else or nothing at all, I never had your exact card so I dont know, but I suggest you read Readme for your driver)

As Far As I Know, It Only Requires DirectX 8. I Checked The System Requirements, I Got Everything It Needs. How About a Third-Party Driver (If They Exist)?
