XP_2600 Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 go to run and type dxdiag then go to display tab and test direct draw and direct 3D.
InViSibLe Gr Posted July 6, 2006 Author Posted July 6, 2006 @XP_2600 i tested both directdraw and direct3d and it was okthe only thing i saw it was in the non full black screen with the with bouncing boxthe box stuck 2 or 3 times for less than 1secdoes this mean anything ?@ripken204 i checked the event viewer and the only error i found in there it was an error from vmware :Source : VMware Virtual Mount Service ExtendedCan't open key, "{124B91A0-21B2-4107-A5BE-050B8E25079C}"but i dont thing this has nothing to do with my problemis there any program that i can check for H/W problems? (for memory and display adapter)btw my display drivers are the latest and directx is updated
XP_2600 Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 hmm if its ATI try to uninstall its driver, there is a utlity clean all ATI drivers, then try it with Windows driver (without installing any utilities) then let me know if the problem still there with that.
InViSibLe Gr Posted July 6, 2006 Author Posted July 6, 2006 ok i did that and so far it's working! thanks a lot man! so what's the problem with ati's new drivers? why is this happening?
allen2 Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 I also got issues with ati drivers: when i last upgraded a few weeks ago to lastest ati drivers, i had flickering image all the time not only in game. I restored my old drivers and same problem. I reinstalled entire XP and still the same probleme. I changed the video card against an old Gforce 4MX and the problem was still there even after reinstalling again. I was about to give up when i tried vga mode and there all was working fine even if it was slow as hell. So the video cards all worked but the ati drivers modified / or detroyed something in my AGP port/controler because when i thought about this cause i tried an nvidia riva TNT2 which is only AGP X1 and it worked perfectly. Then i flashed my MB and reset the bios without getting the agp port to work normally.Ati drivers finally damaged my MB. I didn't knew it was even possible.
ripken204 Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 thats why i wont buy ati anymore, too many problems. nvidia drivers are just so much better.
XP_2600 Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) so what's the problem with ati's new drivers? why is this happening?Well i dont know, but i heard that they used to publish drivers without testing them enough, anyway i used to keep the driver as long as its running my games even if i find a newer drivers at ATI sites .
