Fixed it. The installer had installed the 2k-files for some reason. Used manual install from Device Manager and chose the XP-inf and now everything works. "minor" flaw in the installer you could say...

I'm feeling a bit festive today, and in the mood to give away stuff to the driverheaven community. Here is what I have lying around that I will send to a lucky winner

1) Unopened version of Atari's Act of War (great game by the way)
2) Brand new XL sized, grey "Property of ATI Tech X850" T-shirt
3) My X700 256MB PCI-Express graphic card that I used only for a bit of testing. I am not sure if this card works or is busted, but you get it as is. No refunds, no exchanges. Its just my engineering sample board. Consider it a cool paperweight if it doesnt work.

Simple rules:

I will pick a random post that is created starting from right now and until the time we post CATALYST 5.8 on ati.com tomorrow (about 23 hours from now i.e. 3pm Eastern time on Aug 17) .

To enter the contest just post whatever you have to say and at the end of your post put in "DH and ATI rock". The more you post the better your chance of winning.

At 3pm EST tomorrow (or around there), I will pick a random post on this thread starting from #63 (and assuming you have the magic phrase at the end of your post) and let Zardon know of the winner who will post your name on the front page of DH as the lucky winner.

- ATI employees are not allowed to enter (sorry CC)

DH and ATI rock!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehe thats cool. I bought a T-Shirt from ATI when 9700Pro came out. That was my first ATI card and since then I have owned 9600Pro, 9600XT, 9700Pro, 9700Pro AIW, 9800XT and now X800Pro. Good luck everyone and thanks to DH and ATi for their excellent service!

DH and ATI rock!

Unpack it with what.

Just extract the 5.7 CP set and 5.8 CCC set and copy over the Driver folder and WDM folder to the 5.7 CP set from 5.8 CCC. Works fine here.

Crisao23 · Aug 16, 2005, 09:53 PM

Hmmm... I already have a 9800 Pro as paperweight, so that x700 need to work fine.

BTW, guys if you need a mirror for drivers, check 5.8 here (my filefront.com account):

River · Aug 16, 2005, 09:57 PM

DH was discovered several years ago as I searched out answers to my ATI questions, and in the process I discovered a unique community of DH and ATI believers who rock!

Thank You !

AT_curiousB · Aug 16, 2005, 10:05 PM

Tee Hee Zardon, seems like CM not only wants to melt your servers with a sneak of the new driver, now he wants to melt your main site with a competition.

The drivers installed well, my main wow factor so far has been the response of the CCC, it appears to be a whole faster on my system.

Oh yea, DH and ATI ROCK!!!!

Step 1:
Run the install, then before choosing which package you're going to install, exit the install.

Step 2:
Go to c:/ati/support/5-8_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_25203/Driver

Step 3:
Run Setup.exe

DH and ATI rock!!!!!!!!!!
