I've got and All-In-Wonder X800XT (AGP flavor), and have been getting the Code 43 error since Beta 2. With RC1 out and fresh new RC1 drivers from ATI as of today, this problem still isn't fixed. Obviously not a widespread problem, but very aggravating to those of us who experience it.

I'm running an AMD X2 3800+ on a Gigabyte motherboard with an NForce 3 chipset, but I've seen people report the same error on a variety of motherboards, chipsets and different generations of ATI cards (9X00, XX00, 1X00, etc).

One other peculiarity I've noticed with this problems is that no monitor drivers load, and there isn't even an entry for a Monitor in Device Manager. If I load XP drivers, a monitor will show up in Device Manager , but of course the XP drivers don't support WDDM and are prone to Blue Screen crashes.

Any ideas? If not, at least post your specs and maybe we can find the common denominator.

OK, someone over on www.<< spam >> posted a easy solution which fixed the code 43 problem.

Go into device manager, expand the "Computer" and right click the ACPI Computer, and choose "update driver software" -> "browse my computer..." -> "let me pick from list...". Then choose the only other option that is available, which should Advanced Configuration and Power Interface PC. After making this change video worked as it should, including Aero with all the eye candy.

Hope this helps someone.

Thanks, this worked after some trouble.

It was BSODing on startup. Had to boot into safe mode and uninstall the display driver.

So uninstall the display driver when doing this and let Vista redetect and reinstall the driver on next reboot.

Now it works great.

All it managed to do is make it so I can't boot Vista now, even in safe mode. I uninstalled the video drivers like suggested but now it just hosed. I have been looking for a fix for this everywhere for months so I was really hoping this was it. I'm running a X2 3800+ on a ASRock 939Dual Mobo with a Uli chipset and have never got Vista running with my x800 XL (AGP) since I upgraded to this MOBO. It ran great with my old socket A mobo. I thought it must be the something with the AGP bridge but the XP drivers work fine, just no aero. Thanks for the suggestion anyways.

I tried this plus uninstalling the drivers in safe mode and still no luck. each time it reboots i get the code 43 error. I'm on day two of looking for a fix but i'm starting to get annoyed.

BTW I have an ATI 9800 Pro and i've been trying to use the Beta Drivers for RC1 (i have RC1 as well)

I hope someone fixes this soon.

Yeah ATI with VISTA driver support SUCKS BIG TIME..

Sorry about that, but i could never get my Radeon Mobility 9600 ( directx 9 compliant ) with 64MB to pass the fuc*ing device manager error code 43..

Since november when i started to test vista builds it never worked... So no AERO Glass for me ( 64MB works with Glass )...

I've tried what the folks here said about ACPI, but just freezes my machine and it doesn't remove error code 43..

:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

BAD ATI, REALLY BAD ...

I have a HP Pavilion Zx5051EA <-> P4-3.06 <-> 512 RAM <-> 80HDD ....

Any help is really apreciated.. Thanks..

not really myne run perfectly hassle free lol...

beta 2 and RC1 drivers.

I'm talking about mobility radeon's..

My Desktop works great 9800 XT 256MB..

But ati vista mobility card drivers just suck :angry: :angry: :angry:

I have the same video card and mobo as you so I'm in the same boat. I'm going to reinstall Vista x86 and see this works any better for me.

Same problem here.

I have the x1600 agp 512mb which is supposed to be vista ready; however, I have never been able to use this card with any build of vista since before beta 2.

I tired the ACPI fix; however, I get a black screen and go no further.

I will probably never buy another ati product...their drivers are just crap.

I might have found out my problem. When i first install vista rc1 everything works fine. I noticed that vista gave me a 2.8 on my harddrive transfer rate so I try to install my system drivers for my Lanparty NFII ultra rev. b and that is when my video screws up. Its not the sound drivers for the board. I think it has something to do with the IDE drivers. I didnt' use the beta nforce for this so this might be my problem.

I'm still testing this theory but i'm pretty confident that this is my problem.

A note to other, there might be a driver conflict that is causing the ATI card to crash. Possibly IDE related drivers. (not Raid b/c i installed my Highpoint RAID drivers and had no problem, just IDE drivers.

Same exact problem here, though I have yet to test this in RC1 because I can't get it installed, and I haven't tried the new RC1 drivers from ATI yet. I have the Radeon x800GT AGP (from Sapphire), ECS L7S7A2 mobo. You'd think with this many error reports coming in, MS would have done something about this problem by now...I'm disappointed to see that it still exists in a release candidate.

Alright, I have fixed my problem. It was infact the IDE drivers that was causing my the error 42. Like i stated before, My video card worked perfect when i first installed, then crashed after I installed the XP drivers for my nfII chipset motherboard. I did a system restore and know it is working fine. I let windows update install the nforce drivers itself and everything is running smooth.

know i just have to wait for symantic, alcohol 120% and a couple of other company's to get on the ball and start making stuff that works for vista. Its like windows XP all over again with program compatibility. :angry:

Solved my ATI x1600 problem. Bought a BFG Geoforce 7800 GS AGP card from CompUsa and now have Areo Glass and could not be happier.

My advice...

Drop the crappy ATI card on ebay and buy nVidia. As a long time ATI user I realized I had only been buying ATI cards because the boxes are cool. ATI drivers are simply crap.

ATI are badly built, never had one last more than 11 months.

nVidia however still got a 6 year old one running and my current one is nearly a year old.

Dropping money on new hardware for Release Candidate software is...tragic. I am postive that this issue will be resolved by the final release of Vista/ATI's Vista drivers.

For the record, my graphics card (9800 Pro) has never worked properly with any build of Vista, including this one. Code 43.

THANK YOU for posting this, my code 43 is FINALY gone and i have FULL Glass back!!!!

i've tried that fix and it worked..!!! brillaint...

but only problems im having now is that its affected my dual core- windows only picks up a single core :( im thinking its not a good idea to install the xp drivers from amd on vista-cuz bsod's are most likely..

I hadn't even noticed, but the fix killed my dual core support as well. At least that's what task manager shows. Device manager still shows two processors, but I suspect only one is being used.

Any ideas on how to force dual core support? I know I had dual core working before I "fixed" the ATI drivers.

it looks like it disables the second core- i tried playing some HD stuff and it absolutely puts my comp to its feet. stutters all the way. i tried to go back to the previous setting but it doesnt appear anymore once u've changed it. :(

one option to "force" dual core would be to install the amd xp drivers- but it may bsod vista. i dont wanna try it atm cuz im using vista as my main OS - via dual boot.

go on.. Polydactyl- try the AMD driver for me.. :p

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
