I foolishly installed the XP NF2 chipset drivers, and I think it caused my code 43. I'm going to format and re-install vista (seeing if I have code 43 from install, because when I originally installed I had aero/glass). I'll post back with what I find out.

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 AIW x800 XT and i've been trying to use the Beta Drivers for RC1 (i have RC1 as well)

I hope someone fixes this soon.

any solution????

STILL not fixed in RC2! I would wager that this issue is NOT going be fixed for RTM...

I have to choose between a 640x480 60Hz resolution OR running my DUAL CORE proc in single core mode (which, oddly, fixes Code 43 for video card...)

*Sigh* I suppose I'll file ANOTHER bug report like I did with the previous CPP builds and HOPE blindly that it might get fixed before Vista ships...

Time to go back to an OS that works: XP (I'm posting from within Vista, my eyes burning in this 60Hz resolution...)

And before anyone points out that this is BETA software... do realize that we are less than a month before RTM... this is a MAJOR issue and should've been fixed before even RC status!

System specs for anyone who is curious:

Mobo: Gigabye K8U-939 - Uses the ULi M1689 chipset

CPU: Athlon 64 X2 3800+

RAM: Corsair PC3200 1GB (2x512)

PSU: 480W Antec Power Supply

GPU: ATi Radeon 9600 Pro (which worked just fine on an Athlon XP system... the same exact video card)

Are ALL systems that use dual core processors and use an AGP video card affected by this STILL UNFIXED problem?

Indeed. I've tolerated a lot of bad press about Vista, but this is definately a problem that should have been solved well before the Release Candidate stage.

This has decided for me that I will not be buying Vista straight off the shelf. Microsoft will not be getting my money until I have confirmation that this problem is solved.

If it's not solved by RTM, then I will not be a happy camper.

EDIT: I'm on a single core Athlon XP 2600+

Fixed for me on my laptop in RC2. Seems there are two separate error 43 issues with ati cards. I've had the problem in all prev builds, this is on a single core Pentium M with an ati x700 pro pcie.

Fixed for me on my laptop in RC2. Seems there are two separate error 43 issues with ati cards. I've had the problem in all prev builds, this is on a single core Pentium M with an ati x700 pro pcie.

Wondering if the Monitor Standby issue has been resolved yet?

Edit: the is the 3rd time i post this message .. either i posted in on different thread or i must be blind and not see my message ><

Still have the problem here too on RC2, but I did an upgrade to 5600 instead of a clean install. I don't have a reason to believe the outcome would be any different for a clean install.

The worst part is, I'm still not even sure whether to blame Microsoft or ATI.

Well. I figured I'd drop my experience here.

I as well have (Code 43) appearing on my x800pro videocard under Vista build 5600. After searching several forums and tring a lot of the things suggested, the only thing that seems to make any difference is enabling/disabling dialcore support in the bios.

System specs:

Mobo: Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 ULi 1695 chipset (ULi M1695/ ULi M1567)

CPU: Athlon 64 X2 3800+

RAM: Crucial Ballistix PC3200 1GB (2x512)

PSU: 480W Antec Power Supply

GPU: ATi Radeon x800Pro

Anyways, clean install with dualcore disabled, Vista runs quite nicely. Enable dual core, and the videocard gets that error code.

VERY annoying. I have yet to report anything to ATI, Microsoft or Asrock/ULI(nvidia). You know. Conspiricy theory. Nvidia (via the ULI drivers) did this directly to break ATI videocards!@ j/k. hahah

Well.. I'll keep searchin/tryin and fill in more if I find anything. Take it easy peeps.

Para

There are some people reporting the Code43 error on systems with nvidia cards as well; my guess is that it's a general error relating to some sort of fault in Vista's codebase.

i guess it's something with "APIC" and/or "SMB" driver or something like that related to system resources, which is usually a "chipset"/"mainboard" driver package problem. :unsure:

  • 2 weeks later...

I forced the install of Catalyst 6.4 XP drivers and they install without code 43 error. It now gives me a rating of 1.9 for Aero (still not enough to enable it) but still 1.0 for 3d gaming.

Seems to be running OK.

Tried 6.9 catalyst drivers and got a BSOD before Windoes started.

What is different in 6.4 XP drivers to Vista Drivers?

Can you 'fool' vista into enabling Aero?

No matter how well they work for other things, XP drivers won't ever enable Aero since they aren't WDDM capable. The performance rating is largely irrelevant in terms of whether Aero gets turned on or not.

ATI is supposed to put out new drivers "shortly" (whatever that means), so the best advice would be to have patience and hope ATI gets it right in the next driver release.

  • 2 weeks later...

I really getting sick with this error code 43 crap!!!

Everytime a new build of ATI drivers or vista build cames out and i can test it, i pray the the fuc*ing error code goes away, but always the same sh1t... :angry:

I can't believe a super huge company like ATI ( now with AMD behind ), can't hire some good developers or software engineers..

I have send reports to microsoft and ATI since windows vista beta 2!!

And always the same ****!! :no:

I have a HP Pavilion with a motherboard IGP 9100 and a Radeon Mobility 9600, HP doesn't give a sh1t!!!

I have tried with installing ATI SMBus driver, the AGP port driver and every solution i have found in the internet with no luck..

I own a small company that gives support for networks in companys, and damn if i had the same suppot quality that microsoft and Ati have, i would be out of work..

BF MCSE - Microsoft Certified System Engineer

I'll second that. I'm still getting the Code 43, so I guess this means we can expect the same when Vista goes RTM.

And to think i had so much trouble sending lot's of reports to the 2 companys, hoping that by RTM it would be fix.... :no:

Microsoft i have learn a good lesson, no more beta testing from me for you... It doesn't worth it.. :crazy:

I haven't had any problems with the ATI drivers on my x1400 in rc1 up to rc2. Oh well, wait for final drivers and RTM to complain.

Yeah wait for RTM... :rolleyes:

Don't you get it, this is almost 99% RTM release, Vista RTM is days from release, no driver bugfixing are going to be made that could screw lot's of others users with so small testing time..

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
