Can't get ArcadeVGA setup

[terrymason]

Just got my new arcadeVGA card (9200) and am having trouble installing it. Here's what I've tried (windows 2000, dell 420 workstation):

1. Put it in my computer hooked to SVGA monitor - scrambled signal (as to be expected)

2. Put old vga card in and attempted to install drivers for the new arcadevga, they fail to install with a generic error message.

3. Put arcadeVGA card in computer, then hooked to my jpac / arcade monitor - the post screens, are fine, and I can read them, but when windows 2000 attemps to load the screen scrambles. I've set windows to 640x480.
When I say the screens are fine, that isn't exactly true, as they are fine (but slightly dim) on my G07, but there is no display at all on my Sanyo EZ20 (both play the same jamma games fine).

How do I install this thing? I can't install the drivers for windows since the arcadevga isn't physically in the machine, and if I put the card in, I can't see windows.

The arcade vga FAQ suggests you boot into safe mode and install the arcadevga drivers from there.  Something about incompatibility with the generic ATI chipset drivers.

i just installed win2k with some other video card.  then uninstalled that and threw in the arcadevga once win2k was installed and updated.

Windows 2000 would blue screen on me if I set everything up with one AGP card and then installed the ArcadeVGA (old version). So I installed everything with a PCI graphics card, set Windows to log on automatically, and put the arcadevga driver in the start up folder. shut down and changed the card, bootewd up again and just pressed enter a few times to install the driver.

It would be best I think to connect to arcade monitor (with arcadeVGA in), reboot in safe mode, install the ArcadeVGA driver, and then reboot.  

Also, if you delete the Windows Stock ATI driver, you can install on a normal boot.
