Well, it's very possible that the 9800 Pro demos will attempt to use the 9800-specific F-Buffer, if it thinks you've got a 9800. The 9800 softmod is only supposed to enable the 9800-specific renderer optimizations, the F-Buffer is not present. Do the 9700 demos work?

The 9800 demos run on my 9700, but there's no softmodding here.

Yes all the 9700 pro demo`s work and so do the 2 9800 Pro ones aswell but this 3rd 9800 Pro one is giveing me a error above ?

I fooled the chimp demo into thinking i had a retail 9800 Pro with softmod.

now it works perfectly..... hehe i seem to be fixing all my shit lately .

you guys should check this chimp demo out its is trully EYE candy /

The only mod I have put onto my 9700 Pro, is a heatsink and fan.. Im not overclocking it, nor have I softmodded, or hard modded it into anything else.. Its just a 9700Pro.. Period.. Plays the chimp demo smooth as butter.. I dont see why you should have problems to begin with, other than modding stuff excessively..

ViRUS2K I just ordered the same mobo you have with the XP 3000 chip with DDR 400 3200 RAM I was wondering if you could share any tips and tweaks with setting up this board (this is my first one) Thanks for your time

my fix wasnt realy a fix.

the real fix though is not useing AA 6x if you use 6X you will get the error.

change it to 4x and it works perfect. hope this helps.

if your a overclocking guru like me then your system will FLYYYYY

just make shure your memory timeings are at the fastest and also set your mobo to turbo mode.
if you have more questions just ask.

i garantee if you change your settings to 6x AA then you will get the same error on the chimp demo.

you have to be in 4x aa for it to work to me you seem to be useing the defaults. that are there when you 1st install the drivers.

I had this error too and found that it was to do with the agp not being enabled correctly. Found in Dxdiag that the AGP Texture Acceleration was ghosted out and that I wasnt able to enable it, all games and d3d stuff would just crash, in the end I had to flatten my machine and reinstall as i thought it was to do with ACPI being enabled. However after a complete reinstall with out ACPI enabled it was still doing it!!!! Doh ! Eventually tacked it down to a problem with the modifyed cat drivers to enable 9800 lines. Seems to be working so far fingers crossed, I can tell you I dont want to go through yet another installation and an activation again for a while!!!!
