ATI All-In-Wonder 8500DV Not Working

[fateman]

I've had this card for almost 2 years now and got Doom 3 and tried to play it, but am getting errors stating basically that I don't have Open GL. The same thing happens when I try to play RTCW. I remember similar problems one time with Quake 3 and my Voodoo 3, but I dunno if this is the same and I can't figure out how to fix it. Any ideas?

Thanks

I've tried other places, but no one seems to know the true cause or fix.

put in the new atioglxx.dll and try.

Some on the irc also had a startup prob, and phial told him to do that...try it.

I put it in Windows/System32 and replaced the old one with it and it still does the same thing. Is that where you're supposed to put it?

 

[priyajeet]

yeah u r supposed to that, but as u say it doesnt work. I really dont know. But you can try killing the drivers and installing 4.9, also new directx 9c and updates etc.

[fateman]

I think I've done that, but at this point I'm willing to try completely uninstalling all drivers, pulling my card out and then starting over again...

Guess I'll try that tomorrow.

 

[priyajeet]

dont uninstall the drivers, KILL them...kill all registry entries...use ati unistaller..

better...try in safe mode..

Yeah, I've read the FAQs on uninstalling drivers...I'll try it again...
