    Display driver not working
    « on: March 29, 2007, 08:44:10 PM »
    I don't how to fix this.  My computer hardware driver is a Radeon 9200 and when I play this graphics heavy game after a while everything turns black and I get an error message saying Your Windows Display Driver has stopped working and gives me a note saying the ati2dvx driver has stopped functioning normally or something like that.  Then everything freezes and the only thing I can do is reboot.  How can this be fixed?  Do I need a new driver?  I have a Windows XP Home Edition.  Whats the most effective method to prevent these screen blackouts and failed driver from happening again?

    I did check ATI's website and am downloading     

    Catalyst® 6.11 Display Driver for Windows XP Professional/Home Edition

    but I have not yet installed it.  I don't know if its safe to install this and if this can prevent the failure from happening again.  Advice please.


    And FYI the technical data from the error says this:

    C:\DOCUME~1\CompUSA\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER94f0.dir00\Mini032907-03.dmp
    C:\DOCUME~1\CompUSA\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER94f0.dir00\sysdata.xml

    Have you tried the ATI uninstaller tool,before you
    install new drivers?

      I've had this problem, back when I was an ATI guy (Never again  ;))

      This problem would occur in many games for me, mostly in World of Warcraft, at certain points in the game (funny, I know) I did two things to try and solve this.

      First, as street stated, I un-installed and re-installed new drivers; but to no avail.

      Second, I resorted to lowering all my video settings as I approached that point in the game (Nef's Lair for WoW nerds  :P). This seemed to make the problem leave for good.

      Are there certain points in your game where this happens? If so, try lowering your settings before this stage.

      Later on I switched to Nvidia anyhow :)

      Scratchy advise, but thats how I fixed it :-\

        Yeah this is really frustrating I can't play my fav gmaes when this screen blackout and freeze happens just a minute into the game!

        I've played Far Cry (with the best quality not performance settings) that requires
        •  Supported OS: Windows 98SE/2000/XP (only)
        •  Processor: AMD Athlon 2400-3000+ or Pentium 4 2-3 GHz
        •  RAM: 512-1024 MB
        •  Video Card: 128 MB GeForce 4 128 MB to GeForce FX 5950; ATI Radeon 9500-9800 XT
        •  Sound Card: Sound Blaster® Audigy® series
        •  DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0b (included on disc)
        •  CD-ROM: 8x-16x DVD or 32x CD-ROM
        •  Hard Drive Space: 4 GB
        •  Multiplayer: Broadband with 64 Kbps upstream to play (512 Kbps upstream to host 8 players)
        NVIDIA® nForce™ or other motherboards/soundcards containing the Dolby® Digital Interactive Content Encoder required for Dolby Digital audio

        and I also played FEAR too that requires:
        • Pentium® 4 3.0 GHz or equivalent processor
        • 1 GB RAM
        • A 256 MB Radeon® 9800 Pro or GeForce™ FX 5900 or equivalent supported
        • DirectX® 9 compliant video card with hardware T&L and pixel shader 2.0 support
        • Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ series sound card

        Supported Chipsets:
        • NVIDIA® GeForce™ 4 Ti series, GeForce™ FX 5900 series, 6600 series, 6800 series, 7800 series
        • ATI™ Radeon® 9000 Series, Radeon® 9500 Series, Radeon® 9600 Series, Radeon® 9700 Series, Radeon® 9800 Series, Radeon® X600 Series, Radeon® X700 Series, Radeon® X800 Series, Radeon® X850 Series


        The problem is I don't even know if I have all the stuff they ask for since I don't know how to check on my system.  But can someone tell em which graphics card I should buy that will allow me to play these games on HIGHEST quality performance settings since I really do not want to lower my settings for these games.  I saw some computer techs who played these games before but when they played it on their computer it ran as smooth as silk (it was like a movie on their computer!) while my PC has choppy frames at best and a slow moving slideshow of pictures at worst when I run these games at the highest setting.

          An old video card may not be the only thing holding your system back, I need to know what hardware is running in your system.

          I believe there is a program called Everest that lets you look into the hardware of your system, I'm gonna have to ask around to confirm it or wait for someone that knows what i'm talking about to join the topic.

            Here is the link to download Everest. Running this should give you a hardware run over.

            Also, to check your RAM and Processor by hand:
            Go to My Computer -> Control Panel -> System, and click on the "General" tab

            To check your video card right click on your desktop, click on "properties" and click on the "Settings" Tab, it should show you your running GPU.

            Post here on your findings

              computer1000, have you run an Everest report?  Alternatively, can you tell us the make and model of your computer? 

              Yes, you need to determine whether you have PCI Express, AGP, or perhaps only PCI.  PCI Express and AGP are superior to PCI for video cards so go with PCI Express or AGP if that's available.  And, of course, be sure to buy the appropriate type card; cards are made for specific slots (PCI Express, AGP, or PCI).

              Does you computer meet  the other requirements (processor and RAM)?
