Hi
I'm new here btw..
Ok, I have a ATi RADEON 9800SE (AGP) card. And I was searching the net for files to tweak and OC the system and the graphics card. So I got to this place that had a file called "ATI-Tool". Ok, downloaded it, installed and started it.
Now the first thing it said was "It is possible to unlock additional four pipelines making your card perform like a 9800 Pro." So I thought: -Sure why not?
I downloaded the ati2mtag file. Read the "how-to-do" , and I did exactly what they told me to do.
1.Download the "Unmodded drivers" , now this was not the Catatalys 7.8 but 7.11 (does this make any difference?? I have the 7.8 aswell).
2.After installed drivers, make sure that the unmodded drivers are ok. And they were.
3.Erase the ati2mtag.sy_ file. Ok, done that.
4.Take the ati2mtag.sys file and place it in same place where the ati2mtag.sy_ file was erased. Did that aswell..
5.Update the drivers using the Device-Manager and use "search for disk". Did that too.
Now, why everytime I do this my screen has only 4bit colors and I can't select 16 or 32bit?
Is it that I need the 7.8 drivers instead in order for it all to work?
I really want to test this.
Oh, and some more things to say before anyone comments:
1.In the Device-Manager I have a "Secondary videocard" , it's the same card, just secondary.
2.When trying to install the latest Catalyst (7.11) I get an odd error. So I have to install it the "hard way" , by going into the device manager and update drivers thru it etc.etc.
I would be more than grateful for any help recieved , I have been up since 15:30 yesterday , and I'm not the type who gives up so easily...
