Need HELP installing drivers!!

edperks · Jul 18, 2002, 03:42 PM

I have tried everything to install the 29.42 I have removed all the prev drivers and when I try to install the 29.42 I get this error "AN ERROR OCCURED WHILE LAUCHING SETUP (0X80040707) Then I tried pointing to the Unzipped Drivers them self and recieved this ERROR " THE PARAMETER IS INCORECT" I have been trying to get these drivers to work since Saturday. Any Help would be great.

re-download them... it sounds like you have corrupt files. (Less'n your on a modem... in which case that might be a pain)... This has happened to me before... large file... gets corrupted etc...

Thanks Yeti But I have downloaded three times and all three do the same thing. I have a broadband connection

Thats very strange indeed.

Im going to give up for the night. I will try to get these working tommrow. If I cant I will put the 8500 back in untill I can figure out the prob.

sounds like the symptoms of using a download manager. but since you're on broadband, that doesn't make much sense. only other thing i can think of are the evil ati drivers

The funny thing is i can install the drivers that came with the card and they work just great! But they are dated 3-9-02 driver Ver 2.8.3.2 I was just wanting to install the 29.42 dets for performance gains. I guess i will have to wait till Leadtek updates their drivers .

r u uninstalling the old drivers correctly like I posted before in your ealier thread?

edperks · Jul 19, 2002, 05:36 PM

YEP!! I have tried everything!! This weekend Im going to start taking out other devices and see if it is a conflict with my Satelite, Sounblaster, etc.

Have you tried any diff version of drivers like the 30.30 ?

edperks · Jul 20, 2002, 02:26 AM

No I heard the 30.30 were not as good as the 29.42 but I will try just to see if they work and see if there is a performance gain over the drivers shipped with the card.
