Directx error when trying for Max core

[kayone]

I run the scan for artifacts..fine. Cards at stock and is Brand new only came today.. When i try t find the Max Core i get this error after about roughly 10secs:

"Could not compare images. If you are running the debug version of DirectX switch to retial. If not report this bug."

And i get striped lines down my screen all the way accross about 3cm apart and my screen becomes all blurred.

i'm using XP Pro - SP2 - dx9c Sapphire 9800 PRO

uninstall service pack 2

uninstall service pack 2

Is this a wise choice? I thought service pack 2 was uninstallable except through system restore.

uninstall service pack 2

First, I don't think it's casued by SP2. I have no problems with SP2 and dx 9.0c on the system in my sig, and I've never heard of this issue. Try reinstalling directx instead.

I wouldn't uninstall SP2 just to run Atitool anyway...

It can be uninstalled via the add/remove programs thing, I don't recommend doing it though, as it will make your system very slow and unstable (I did it myself once the first time I installed SP2)

I uninstalled SP2 with no problems through add/remove programs. My system is perfectly stable and not slower at all. I was having problems with many games with SP2 installed

Have you considered that it might be DX9.0c? Seeing as it's a DX error, that would be the logical cause of the problem. Try uninstalling DX9.0c and re-installing 9.0b.
