ATI AIW 9600XT Driver Question
This is a discussion about ATI AIW 9600XT Driver Question in the Windows Hardware category; So its friday night and i decided to update my drivers for my video card. . . I followed the directions on the ATI website and uninstalled the catalyst display divers through the add/remove programs option in the control panel.
So its friday night and i decided to update my drivers for my video card... I followed the directions on the ATI website and uninstalled the catalyst display divers through the add/remove programs option in the control panel. It then asked me to restart, so I did... and then... obviously i could see the first couple of screens... but after the windows xp load screen, my monitor said: no input. This makes sense because i uninstalled the driver for the video card... I know there is a way to fix this because i did the same thing this summer and ATI walked me though the whole thing, but their stupid customer service won't be up until tuesday. The thing is, i don't have any onboard video... i think there's something i do while loading... but its not in bios, that allows to load windows somehow and then install the new drivers... but i forget what it is... if anyone knows how to solve this problem, please please reply to this post or e-mail me at bobathia at yahoo dot com . thanks soo much.

What should have happened is that XP would have reverted to the standard SVGA driver. In the BIOS make sure that AGP is selected as the preferred or first graphics card so it will always use that. Any onboard gfx should be disabled (it is not necessary to have onboard gfx when uninstalling drivers).

hm, agp is selected in bios... there is something about mda resources being used or not, but i'm not sure what that is. either way it still isn't working... thanks for the suggestion though, i'm going to call ati up whenever their stupid cust. service is open and they should be able to remedy the situation.
