OK, my new MSI ATI Radeon 3450 arrived today.
I did remove my test Matrox PCI G200 per proper removal. Shut-down and
pulled the G200.
(The ATI CD is in the reader.)
I installed the 3450 per the directions.
Power the PC on.
It did light up! The card works...........
That ends the good news.............
I can not load drivers for it! I keep getting error msgs about Vista 64.
WTF.(?)
The widows say I loaded the drivers, but so far NO Soap! Screen res remains
640x480.
My OS is W2Kpro SP4.
The driver pop-ups keep talking about HD Audio drivers that I do not wish
to load. I am using the RealTek on-board audio supplied by the Asus P5Q3.
So, I went to ATI and dl'd the last/latest driver for w2kpro. It will not
work either! The process dies because it can NOT find a proper dot-inf
file.......... I am greatly confused now.
nVidia NEVER did this. Sorry. But, at the moment, ATI is not making me a
happy camper.
Any clues or help will be greatly appreciated!
If I can not get this card to load, I am back again to nVidia.
Thank you,
Duncan
