Thanks John.

Everything went fine until step 10 of your install procedure.
After the reboot windows will not start.
All I get is the screen saying "starting windows "
Have to restore to get things going again. (restores to generic vga ).

Do you have any more suggestions?

Thanks

Who's John? heh

Install this. Do it by using the device manager, especially for the CPU to AGP bridge in system devices.

Then after successful, install video driver from this thread.

Also, you can try installing it in Vista compatibility mode by running the setup.exe

Making progress.
Via cpu-agp driver installed and works ok.
After installing ati driver windows progresses from "starting windows" screen to blue screen before restarting again. Looked like atikmdag.sys was the file it reported.

Hrrm...that's still not a good sign though.

Try installing the video driver in safe mode.

Thanks for the info. This is my HTPC for recording tv. I did get it working finally last night with a Catalyst 9.1 driver. Looks good so far, we will see over the next couple days. If it still doesn't work very well, I'm upgrading my main pc and will have a Gigabyte intel mb to swap out. Just need another Pci express video card.
Thanks for your time.

Hi, welcome.

It is already included:

"ATI Radeon HD 3650 AGP" = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9596

Do you have an nForce3 motherboard? Or which one do you have?

sorry, my bad, I've only now realized I was supposed to use the "have disk" procedure, I was selecting browse directory or some other menu.
still, I just ged bad artifacts and BSOD just like with the Vista drivers
so I'm still stuck on Catalyst 9.2 as only WDDM 1.0 drivers work so far on my Win 7.
I have a nforce2 MB
I so hope I'm gonna find a solution to use Cat 9.11, I've had no luck with WDDM 1.1 so far.

Wow, to be quite honest, you're very lucky to have any video at all on Windows 7 with that.

My Win 7 ( upgraded from Vista) works quite fine with Catalyst 9.2 just that I can't install any newer driver.
I also have XP installed and Cat 9.11 works fine in it, DXVA in Flash 10.1 and all...

thing is the early Vista drivers such as the one bundled on my card's install CD also worked terribly in Vista on my PC unlike Catalyst 9.2 which works fine even in 7.
Is there any reason why it would not be possible to have a working Windows 7 graphics driver on my PC?

Yeah, NVIDIA dropped support of nForce3 and lower before Vista ever came out.
