Getting "unknown devices" after Omega installation

leiahteh · Sep 23, 2004, 05:14 PM

Hi, I have no problems with the 4.8 Omegas until the 4.9 based release. I did a clean installation using Driver Cleaner and installed the Omegas. After rebooting, Windows tells me I have unknown devices installed but there is no suitable drivers for it. After searching the forums, I found that it has something to do with VIVO cards.

The problem is how to fix it. Install the WDM drivers? Do I have to install the official Cats 4.9 to fix the problem or just ignore it?

Another issue that I've encountered is not having the 3D/OpenGL tabs in the Control Panel. I'm not using CCC but I still see the new Advanced3D tab.

I believe that this is a good set of drivers but the package isn't well prepared enough. Let's hope the next set of drivers will fix all the problems...

You need to install the latest WDM drivers on EACH driver release since usually the new drivers are not compatible with old WDM drivers.
The link for the lastest WDM drivers is ALWAYS below the driver mirrors at my site.
As for D3D and OGL panels, they where removed and replaced with the Advanced 3D options.
