New problem!

[astr0creep]

Hello! (w00t)

 

 

Well my new Hard drive seems to work fine but now I have a new problem.

 

I can't play games! Yay!

 

 

Apparently my Radeon 9600 doesn't support openGL anymore.

In the Catalyst control center for the driver suite 7.1(most recent), when I go into the 3D settings panel, the 3Dpreview window doesn't work. When I'm lucky I get an error message that says it can't find the openGL driver to display the 3D animation in the window. When I'm slightly less lucky, the VPU recovery system kicks in and when I'm unlocky my monitor turns off and I need to reboot. (w00t)

Any game that has 3D images and animation will crash as soon they are loaded(I tried Chronicles of Riddick and San Andreas).

 

I tried other, older driver suites with the same results. In some cases I can't even launch the Catalyst Control Center.

 

I've been looking everywhere for this problem, for ways to fix it and even diagnostic tools that could tell me what exactly is the problem. I've roamed forums and tech sites and I can't find anything. I've even fiddled a bit with the MoBo BIOS.

 

Can anyone help me please?

huh never heard of that.. have you tried contacting those who made the card?

[astr0creep]

I tried one of the drivers from ATI that I hadn't tried yet and it worked.

 

I also did some more twealing in the MoBo BIOS.

 

I actually don't know for sure what made it work.

 

Thanks anyway people.

[Rosbjerg]

well who cares as long as it works right?

That was a strange problem.

Sounded like a bad driver (application).
