New Omega Drivers Not Working

prekellyksp · May 19, 2004, 03:42 PM

My System:

Voodoo 860
9700 128 meg

All of the previous distributions worked great. Now with this new version, it takes forever for screens to refresh and I cannot run any 3d applications. Like if I run 3dmark, it comes up that it cannot test for minimum spechs or that there is no acceleration installed.

Go to your start button, go to Programs, find the Omega section and from there choose the Reinstall drivers option and just reinstall them. Sounds like they did not install properly. Make sure your Anti-virus is disabled when reinstalling.

I have tried everything that I can think of.

I booted into safe mode
Disabled everything (anti-virus, etc.)
I unistalled and re-installed several times
I tried to install previous drivers that worked before

I have no ablility to run anything 3d and I am stuck!

Check and see if there is two files with ATI... at the beginning booting with windows. Also make sure you look under the Direct X control panel to make sure all the proper acceleration is turned on. If those are fine and you've re-installed drivers; try re-installing your AGP driver.

Having the same problem. When I run dxdiag I cannot enable DirectDraw and other accelerations. The message reads: The file ati2dvag.dll is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer. I haven't found a resoluton yet but I may have to go back to WHQL drivers
