What WDM drivers are you using? 5118?

The same exact thing has been happening on my AiW 8500DV. it happens no matter what driver set I use. I have been pulling my hair out since I bought this card a few days ago and I am minutes away from throwing it out the window and going back to my V5 5500

I am running :
Windows XP Pro
tried drivers that came with the card and the newest released offcial ATI drivers
TBird 1ghz
Abit KG7-Raid w/ newest bios
512MB DDR
SB Live
3Com PCI 10/100
Creative DVD ROM
Lite-On 40x12x48

just noticed that my system is sharing 1 IRQ with almost every single device in my computer and refuses to change anything even tho there are at least 4 other IRQs open

I cant figure out why its doing this nor can I figure out how to stop it

HELP!!!!

I had this problem when i upgraded from my old 7200 to my 8500DV, had to do a clean install.

Stryx · Jun 6, 2002, 06:25 AM

finally installed a clean XP on another drive and it does fix the WDM driver problem but I still cant get my firewire port to work correctly. it grabs the first 2 frames from my camcorder then stops. funny thing is that it seemed to work fine when I first installed the card but it doesnt work anymore on either install of XP (on this computer at least.) ideas anybody?

I am using 5118, any suggestions?

Stryx · Jun 27, 2002, 02:04 AM

the only thing I have found that will fix that is starting fresh with windows. My firewire problem turned out to be a problem with my motherboard. Everything is a mess right now with my system. I just bought a new motherboard and have a chip on the way so its a very expensive way to fix the problem

Just installed Catalyst 2.2 drivers for Radeon 64 MB DDR, every time I reboot it tells me it has found unknown hardware, but I can't install WDM drivers. I've tried 5118 & 6125 neither works, can someone help me please?

I installed the ctalyst 2.2 on my 8500 dv and also had the problem at first. fixed by downloading the capture drivers again and installing those. I already hads the old ones but they wouldnt work. the same thing happended when I started using the catalyst dirvers when they first came out
