AVGA3000 and Win7 32bit Issues
« on: March 17, 2011, 03:29:22 pm »
I've recently upgraded my AVGA card and am having problems installing the drivers. Note: The issue isn't the Win7 Directdraw issue, that shouldn't affect me as I have a multi-sync monitor. I've also been in contact with Andy though he can't seem to recreate the issue on his end so I'd like to see if anyone else had a similar issue and worked through it.

My issue is with the driver install itself. If I don't install the drivers in Vista compatibility mode it says it's missing an INF file and the drivers don't install. If I do install in compatibility mode the drivers install though I get a MOM.Implementation or CLI.Implementation error on restart and can't switch resolutions with the quickres utility, it'll say 'Mode Change Failed'. Googling those errors I've found reports that they're caused by missing .NET Frameworks though I've tried installing all of them in combination, 1.1, 2.0 and so on along with their service packs.

It should be mentioned that I've tried the drivers on the CD as well as directly off the site and also used the Ultimarc utility to wipe any old ATI components before each trial. 

Anyone else have issues with the AVGA3000 and Win7 32bit? I'm about to just reinstall Win7 and see if a fresh install helps and if that fails go back to XP but before I go through the hassle I'd like to verify there isn't some other fix I'm missing. Appreciate any help or suggestions.

UPDATE: After reinstalling Windows 7 I was able to install the AVGA drivers without error. I did a clean install of both 32 and 64bit OS's just to confirm that the AVGA3000 worked fine on both and it does. The problems I was having must've had to do with something that had been installed along the way, perhaps some old ATI components not being able to be purged.

I did have a small snafu with the 32 bit version, the Quickres utility wouldn't change the desktop resolution until I had changed it once using the Displays control panel. Thereafter it switched fine.
