I'm running "Windows 2000 Profesional" and have a 4X AGP video card, but when
I boot up in Win 2K, and goto my desktop properties, and then settings,
Advance, I then find some tabs, one in question is named "SmartGart(tm)", and
when I click on this tab, it says that my AGP is not on,
I have an ATI Radeon 7500 series card, and if I boot up using ME I have 4x
AGP arcording to the same tab "SmartGart(tm)". Can anyone tell me how to fix
this in the Windows 2K boot up?, thanks in advance for your time.

card ?

Yes there was an update for the card and Windows 2K, and I installed that.
and my bios is set too for it to be a 4x AGP card. it's baffeling me as to
why this OS is being so hard headed. thank you for your post reply.

I'm up to date with all of the latest fixes, but it still does not run in 4x
mode, using Win 2K. thanks for your reply.

I had a similar issue with my nvidia quadro pro graphics card and my
motherboard.

The graphics were running in PCI Compatibility mode rather than AGP
mode.

It took a while to track down but was eventually fixed for my system by
installing the latest VIA 4in1 drivers

Hope that helps or at least points you in the right direction

aThanks for the reply Steve, but I have an ATI Radeon 7500 graphics card,
with the latest drivers too. I'm using a 2ghz P4 with 400 mh front bus, but
still it wants to run in AGP off mode when I use Windows 2K. Again, thank you
for your reply.
