New ATI Driver and AH won't run
« on: April 28, 2005, 06:43:58 PM »
I just let Windows Update install a new driver for my ATI 9600 card.

Now AH won't run.  I get the "aceshigh.exe has encountered a problem..."  message.

Probably not a coincidence.  So, what do I do to fix it?

Thanks for the help.

Not being a really patient person,  I deleted the video8.cfg file in settings.

Still get the error message.

Windows Media Player got messed up, too.

Went into Device Manager and uninstalled anything called ATI in Sound Controllers.

It all works now.

the newest ati drivers are shall we say "optimized" for the x-series cards....they don't go with my 9600xt either...think the one i'm running now is 4.12 and it runs flawless

it may be your GART driver...a friend of mine lost his with his x800 and it shut off fast writes and most important, turned his AGP all the down...had the same performance problem you have untill i re-installed it for him

Yup....I'd agree its your gart drivers....its a seperate driver install on the X800's. When I put mine in it just crawled...(X800pro)....one way to check is look at what your AGP is reporting in bios or with 3rd party utility...if its not showing 8x AGP that would explain your problem...and confirm Gart drivers are pooched...
