RAD 9600XT 256MB - Omega Driver OC

BoneG

Hi,

Just downloaded th e Omega drivers and have them running no probs, tried tweaking the settings through 3D Prof and are getting an error. See below

Error while executing etc/radeon_setclk.exe:

Cannot connect to r6probe

r6probe.lib: error: Overlapped I/O operation is in progress.




Hint: There is an installer for r6probe.sys located in 3DProf's application directory
It can be installed from 3DProf startmenu too.

=== Some R6Probe related infos ===
r6probe.sys standard location: C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\r6probe.sys
r6probe.sys file date: 06/12/2003
r6probe.sys file version: 1.02.0001.01
R6Probe standard registry key :HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\r6probe
r6probe.sys image path: System32\Drivers\r6probe.sys

### Now searching for installed R6Probe drivers:
### Found one:
Key Name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\r6probe
ImagePath: System32\Drivers\r6probe.sys
File Date: 06/12/2003

### Found one:
Key Name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\R6ProbeDemand
ImagePath: \??\C:\Program Files\3DProf\etc\r6probe.sys
### Number of installed drivers found: 2 ===

I've run the install utility, any ideas?

[There are some "official" support threads for 3Dprof. Reachable from the help menu.]


I'm sorry to hear that you have problems. Thanks for reporting. Please always try the latest version. It will not help in this case, but I updated R6Probe to work with Radeon 9200 mobility. So if someone with that card reads this here, just update and it should work.

[It seems, your card was not supported by R6Probe. See next posting]

* If r6probe refuses to work, it often does not accept the device ID of a new/exoctic card. But according to source code it does know the Radeon 9600. Please check if your card does have the device ID "4150." You can look into menu Help | Report | Display Info to verify the device ID. It should read "&DEV_4150&" in dd.DeviceID of "\\.\DISPLAY1". On the machine I write hits it is &DEV_0302&:

dd.DeviceName="\\.\DISPLAY1"
....
dd.DeviceID="PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0302&SUBSYS_018010DE &REV_A2"



You can also try Help | Report | R6Clock.

* The driver cannot be started for some other strange reason. Maybe you can find an error message in event-log (run eventvwr from Windows start menu).

It helped in one case to use the installer from Radeonator:
http://hrc.webzeppelin.hu/-=Utils=-/..._Installer.exe

** uninstall the old R6Probe.msi
** reboot
** Install the R6Probe with that Radeonator installer
** reboot

Because that old driver may not recognize your rather new card, you can replace the binary:

** boot into safe mode
** Replace that r6probe.sys in C:\Windows\syste32\drivers with the one from 3Dprof's etc sub directory.
** reboot


If you have some time, you can try it, even if it may not help at all. But normally, the clocking should work without having to install R6Probe.sys at all. The driver should be loaded when needed (on demand). This is a new feature. The MSI installer is now only required for non-admin accounts.

I will look into R6Probe.sys source to make sure there are no bugs. It seems your card is the very last in the list of cards. Maybe there is a bug, so it ignores the last ID. The driver was not written by me and is in assembler , so it is not easy to maintain.

Oops, the Radeon 9600 XT is not really having the ID 4150 but 4E46.

I added the new ID now to R6Probe.sys in latest 3DProf version 1.2.56.

Please download it. It should work.

btw: I'm currently adding all remaining IDs to r6probe.sys. I should have done that already, but first I had to change some code to allow more IDs (until now, I had to remove old IDs when adding new ones).
