Simple help questions on loading Omega on 8500 AIW

Redstone · Jan 29, 2005, 01:35 AM

Omega doesn't have much on AIW installs on his site anymore.
I will be helping a friend install the latest Omega drivers tommorow and have no idea what AIW is all about. Believe it or not he has never upgraded drivers from the original driver on the install disk. We will be mowing over the original ATI drivers for the card.
Questions:
Do we install the Omega AIW driver first, no reboot, then install the normal driver set after?
And can both omega driver sets be loaded over the old ATI set?
Anything else AIW specific I should know about?

Thanks all...

i'm pretty sure AIW is vivo with a tv tuner
you should install the wdm drivers before installing display drivers
im not sure what you mean about the omega and normal ati drivers, what is it you want to do?

Thanks for getting back. Just got done with it. Followed the basic Omega instructions using driver cleaner, but just installed the AIW set first then Omega. Went fine.
