Cubes Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 I have a ATI 9500 Pro and it always seems to be running in software mode with major jaggy lines. I just found out by going into Control Panel - Add/Remove and go into ATI drivers ? you should see PCI & AGP.. After deleting the PCI drivers my card looks alsome. Before i did this it must have been using the PCI drivers for my AGP card. Just something to be aware of and pass onto my buddies in CMBB..

Holman Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hmmm. When I try that (I have an ATI Radeon 9800), I see the options for "Radeon 9800 Pro" and "Radeon 9800 Pro - Secondary" (these are the PCI drivers). When I click on the secondaries, however, I get a warning box saying "Unable to uninstall older or non-ATI display drivers." Is there a way to get past this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holman Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I had jaggies until I enabled anisotropic filtering in ATI's DirectX settings. Jaggies no more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to control panel -> add/remove software -> ATI PCI Drivers(or whatever)... Or try removing them via the system page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aleader Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I have a 9000Pro, and when I try to remove the secondary part in Device Manager it lets me, I restart, and then Windows automatically reinstalls it right away every time. Also, in my Add\Remove all that's listed is 'ATI Display Driver' and 'ATI Control Panel' (I have the newest ones installed). I was however able to disable the secondary part in Device Manager. Why did the morons at ATI put in a secondary part in the first place!? [ July 19, 2003, 11:09 PM: Message edited by: aleader ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did the morons at ATI put in a secondary part in the first place!? For a secondary monitor perhaps? As long as you have the #1 selected I dont see how it is a problem... do elaborate, how does the secondary conflict with the primary if you have the primary selected...? That is what the PRO series implies that you can have a secondary monitor... IIRC.

aleader Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 How do you know which one is selected? I just figured the secondary may be screwing up my sound (that other thread I have running here), so I disabled it. Didn't help though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Jerkov Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 properties-> settings-> display... Under display it will say something like this- 1. Super VGA 1024x768 @ 75 hz on RADEON SERIES 9500/9700 2. Super VGA 800x600 on RADEON SERIES 9500/9700 I dont know how your system is setup, and this is from 98 SE, so your results may vary. O_ops.

WarDogz Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 do you have anything plugged into the second monitor port on the card? perhaps your primary or only monitor is plugged into the secondary port?
