MikeFu84 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Currently Running: - MSI K7N2 Delta-L - AMD 2800+ Barton - 1024MB DDR400 - 120GB & 160GB Maxtor HDD - Lite-On 16x Dual Layer DVD+/-RW - Samsung 52x CD-RW - ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB 256-bit After initial install, everything was fine. I had the glass effect and everything. I installed the ATI beat drivers and everything went to hell. Even uninstalling the driver didn't fix the problem. Glass effect is gone and it is as if I had no driver installed at all. Microsoft reinstalled its driver but nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

karma_police Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I've got a Dell Inspiron 6000: Intel Pentium M (centrino) 1.6ghz 512DDR2 60GB Hard Drive Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS, 910 Express Chipset 128mb Sigmatel AC'97 Audio I'm running it on an Inspiron 9300, which has the same audio and network cards as the 6000, but I can't get them to work. In fact, when I boot up with the network card turned on in the BIOS, the system freezes right after booting slowly. 586300732[/snapback] Did you installed the drivers from Dell for Windows XP? worked for me I have an 8600 with Sigmatel Audio you can also try the Intel AC97 drivers from the Vista CD but just worked for the first time because after a reboot Windows Audio service had a memory leak. Dell Latitude D610 Intel Pentium M Processor 730 (1.60GHz) 512MB DDR2 400MHz SDRAM Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 24X CD-RW/DVD 40GB Hard Drive (5400RPM) Does not run well at all. I have a feeling that it is running so slow because of the processor speed because I installed this one a desktop with a P4 running at 2.8GHz (and HyperThreading) and 512MB of memory and it runs just fine on it. 586302652[/snapback] I also have Pemtium M 1.6GHz with 512MB RAM and it runs pretty well, I gues your problem is your Intel Graphics Media Accelerator.

cropcircles Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Dual boot with XP Pro P4/3.4 Asus P5DG2 Deluxe MB 2GBDDR2 GeForce 6600/256 Working Nero 6.6.0.15 CCleaner RegSupreme Pro 1.1 Window Washer 6 FireFox 1.0.6 :) nVidia 75.03 LDDM Drivers (Couldn't get glass effect until I installed this one) Not Working Avast Home antivirus (loaded and installed fine but it cut off my internet connection) Daemon Tools - BSOD. Each time I rebooted it would load an installed driver and reboot. Sound card drivers - Nothing has worked so far. I thought it was really cool after installing Vista it automatically detected and installed my ethernet and nVidia video drivers and I was connected to the internet right away.

Anyone have any ideas? 586305406[/snapback] Go into DevMan and force the Standard VGA adapter, reboot and install the original Microsoft LDDM ATI driver. That should fix it. I had a similar problem with my GF 6600GT and that fixed me right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
