Hi,
I recently had to do a Windows Repair. After the repair I noticed my Catalyst drivers were not working. I went to install the drivers again and got "Setup was unable to complete you installtion. Try to setup your adapter with a standard VGA driver before running setup."
So I go into dxdiag to check what driver the card is using it reports the main driver as "vga.dll" and the MiniVDD as "vga.sys" all other information is not reported.
So I got to the device manager to check if it is recoginizing the card but no display adapter is there. Not even the one for my on-board video(which disables itself when a card is plugged into the AGP slot).
I try to add it using the add hardware wizard but it won't recognize it with plug and play and it doesn't give me the options to intall a display adapter when I do manual install.
I also downloaded by Mobos drivers(VIA Hyperion) and that didn't seem to do anything either. I've also run the ATI unistaller program, and tried to purge as best I could any references to ATI from the registry as well as deleting all the files(the only one remaining is ati2evxx.dll which it will not let me delete. I think it is responsible for the smart poller service which I delete from the registry). I've also tried taking the card out of the machine and running for a while, and then plugging it back in but it still does not recognize it.
I'm totally out of ideas. What else can I do?
