SiegWarheit Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Urr.. So, I had the glass effect not too long ago, but now it's gone. So I decided to install the Vista Beta 1 driver's from ATI. The x86 installs, but it doesn't help at ALL. The x64 doesn't install. Is there not a 32bit LDDM driver from ATI? :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Os1r1s Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Im Not sure if this will help, but u can give it a try :) http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=24976 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolvereen Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 You're not using the LDDM drivers. REinstall the beta ATI drivers, go to about the 4th or 5th one down and choose LDDM drivers. REstart, should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegWarheit Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hey, Wolvereen. You mind putting up a screenshot of where you mean? Is this it? http://img282.imageshack.us/img282/5420/problem3zk.jpg Which one am I supposed to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Os1r1s Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Use the (LDDM) drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegWarheit Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hmm, well it seem's that I am, yet it's not working? http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/6492/problem2bj.jpg I'm using the x86 driver's in the ATI Beta 1 package, but all windows scroll/moves extremely laggy too. IT goes smooth if I just use Microsoft driver's, but no Glass effect. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After updating drivers I managed to lose the glass effect. The problem in my case was actually related to the system driver for my motherboard agp interface. I had installed new mobo (Nfinity II) drivers, I tried a rollback on this and bingo - glass effect back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiegWarheit Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Oooo! I'm using an nForce2, and had to get the drivers for it. So, if I uninstall it(Uninstalls my Ethernet card too. :p), and install it again it should work? o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i was you, uninstall all the nforce drivers you put on first and then re-install the original microsoft ATI graphics driver. If it still is not displaying correctly the driver you need to rollback is under system devices in device manager called 'Nvidia nforce2 AGP Host to PCI bridge'. I then re-added the drivers individually checking all was good each time. Mine is looking very healthy now - including the ethernet card!! Let me know if this solves your issues.

SiegWarheit Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 Well, I'm currently reinstalling Vista as it let's me have the Glass effect's for a few reboots, then I'll install the LDDM drivers, then the nForce2 5.04(Only version I know of that has working Ethernet and isn't back to 4.XX). I'll let you know what goes on when I'm back on Vista(Installing XP now then SP 2 as I don't have a DVD+RW cd here. Gotta install from inside XP, lol... Glad I'm on a lan) :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiegWarheit Posted August 9, 2005 Author Share Posted August 9, 2005 There's no dual-monitor. Secondary has just always been there. It's just that, no matter if I install the LDDM drivers, it says that there's no monitor connected, and no Graphics card, yet the Device Manager says that the card(x800SE 256) is using the lddm drivers. Running: AMD Athlon XP 2800+ @ 2.08Ghz Sapphire x800SE 256mb 512 DDRRam nForce 2 AGP mobo(Not quite sure on the full name, besides nForce 2. ;) ).

SiegWarheit Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Oh btw, I fixed it by reinstalling Vista(Pain in the ass without a DVD, haha...), but that's not the point of this post(Well, besides that I haven't rebooted once since I reinstalled, and it's all going smooth. :p). I think that, after putting on the LDDM drivers, you might have to go here? http://img298.imageshack.us/img298/7886/desktop0uq.jpg That might be something, but even so; Before all this, when putting the LDDM driver's on, Vista wouldn't recognise that my card was on so it was laggy as hell too. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kotzkroete Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 (edited) So you have installed Vista a second time and now the effects work? I have the same Problem that you had. Edited September 2, 2005 by kotzkroete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
