Asus 9600xt and Omega Drivers

fuzzieb · Jan 14, 2004, 09:17 PM

This is what I have:

Asus A7N8X Dlx , Atlon XP 2700, 1 GB Corsair Twin X 3200 LL, Maxtor 120GB HD ATA Win XP Pro

I went to install my new Asus 9600XT today with hopes of using Omega drivers. I followed the procedure to uninstall my old Asus TI 4200 , by unistalling the driver and then going into safe mode and using Driver Cleaner to uninstall the rest of the files. I had downloaded the latest ( based on 3.10 ) and installed them and they seemed to install okay except that I got two Items in the unknown column of my device manager. When windows when looking for the drivers for these two items , they could not be found.

I had turned off fast writes as the install instructions dictate. Could these two items be for a TV as the card has DVI and S-Video??

I uninstalled the Omega Driver, and installed the ATI Catalyst 3.10 with no probs....and no unknowns.

Any ideas what these two items are that have no drivers...as I would really like to go with the Omega Drivers.

The ASUS Cards need the ASUS WDM driver, so it should be on your driver cd...BTW Get rid of the ASUS

It doesn't require the Asus WDM drivers as I installed the ATI Radeon 3.10 reference drivers with no problems...

I am going to try uninstalling the ATI Control Panel and install the Omega drivers again , and hope that the initial install of the ATI drivers solve the unknowns.

As for getting rid of the card, I just got it. Unfortunately the store where I puchase all my hardware, didn't have the Sapphire card. ( with the O/C memory)
