Recomend good AGP video card

dlcampbe said:

I just bought an HIS AGP HD Radeon 4670 from newegg. It installed and ran just fine with Win 7 then, I installed SP1.

I have 3 machines all running Win 7 Home Premium x86. I installed SP1 on 2 from Windows Update with no problems, on the third machine however it scrambled my video drivers.

The problem machine is a Pentium 4 with an AGP video card. The Device Manager shows an ATI Radeon HD 4670 display adapter with a yellow flag and the message: "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)." All I get for drivers are the default VGA drivers. After Updating the driver software I get the following message:

"The best driver software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date." ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series

It seems that the video card and drivers are present, but they cannot find each other.

Any thoughts?

try this link HIS HD 4670 IceQ Native HDMI 1GB (128bit) 800 MHz DDR3 PCIe < Download | HIS Graphic Cards
download the driver for vista(2nd one in the list) and install. it should help
or
Download | HIS Graphic Cards
And choose your card and install

Thanks Raz,

Those HIS pages show no drivers for an AGP card.

I tried the latest driver package from the AMD/ATI driver download page for an AGP card. That software put me back to where video/drivers quit working. I did a restore and everything is working well. My conclusion is that SP1 doesn't like an AGP video display adapter/drivers.

I'm going to call it quits and do without SP1 on this computer. My AGP Radeon 4670 works great on Win 7 as installed with drivers from the installation disc.
