Hey,
I am running win 7 beta build 7k on my dell poweredge 500sc. I got the ATI Rage XL Pro video card drivers installed, but whenever i boot up 7 informs me of "known compatibility issues" with this program. as a result the video card does not work and im stuck in 1024x768 24 bit color. I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!
That is not necesarilly true. I reinstalled the drivers and i had it working perfectly (32 bit color 100 htz screen refresh rate) but when i rebooted, it didnt work anymore. Do you think i will have any shot of making this work or will i have to take a video card out of one of my other computers to make this work (eg a PCI Nvidia GEForce 8500 GT i bought in Japan this summer.... i cant believe that i wasted 250 bucks on it...)
i restarted and it is working again... and it is as you stated "eye candy"
HOWEVER
when i downloaded the drivers from dell.com the latest they had was win 2k
i got that and whenever i try to make it work it always says "Setup was unable to complete the installation. Try to setup your display adapter with a standard VGA driver before running setup."
well i did that and it still didnt work.....
EDIT:
well when i restarted i got another error. so i would really appreciate whatever help you could give me. I just want this thing to work. thanks!
EDIT:
i will now try to install a NVidia GEForce 8500 GT that i have in another computer in this one
EDIT:
FAIL!! yeaah... neither monitor port worked so i was kinda screwed........ ima go update the BIOS for all the good that does me
