Foxconn P4M800P7MB-RS2H vga problem

[Core7]

I have a computer with a foxconn motherboard which I have downloaded the driver and saw it was only for XP so I had to run it in compatibility mode after that I restarted and my problem still exist. The thing is my Aero effects doesn't want to work. Can anyone get me like a WDDM or something like that driver. That is what windows wants when I trouble suite. Please guys

Thanks,
Core 7

Hi,

Have you tried letting Windows Update search for drivers? I find that sometimes helps.

 

[Core7]

Yes I did and I have updated it via Device Manger but it says the component driver is up to date

This board?

MOBOT: Motherboard Spec Sheet: Foxconn P4M800P7MB-RS2H Motherboards.org

If so then there aren't any Windows 7/Vista drivers for it as Via dropped support for it at XP. And a driver won't help when the hardware is lacking the necessary support.

Oky damm...uhm what graphics card does this board take?

 

[stormy13]

AGP or PCI; no PCI-E. If it is only for Aero then it really isn't worth it because sadly the cost of a Windows 7 compatible would likely be more than the entire computer is worth.

 

[Core7]

Nope its not only for that its for my little brother so he can jam that games of him.

 

[stormy13]

What games? AGP cards are starting to get hard to find, and if it is for anything even remotely recent for games then they are even harder.

 

[Core7]

This board takes PCI-E.Like frets on fire, need for spped underground need for speed most wanted stuff like that. Doom 3 red alert 2.

But thanks for your help STORMY

 

[stormy13]

This board takes PCI-E.

It does? Not according to Foxconn it doesn't,

Foxconn - Products: Motherboard

If it does happen to have a PCI-E 16x slot, then you can put anything you want in it budget and power supply willing. If it is AGP as the picture and specs show then the best AGP card is the HD 4670.

As for what card to recommend, if you want to have Windows 7 driver support then,

1. For Nvidia if you can find one (will only be used), something like a 7600 GS or GT

2. For ATI, anything from the HD2xxx series and up.

Quick question, how where those games running with the onboard video in XP? If they were playable it might be a better idea to go back to XP and save 7 for a newer computer.

 

[Core7]

Haven't-tested the games on XP, uhm I have an Ati Readeon R9550 256mb and 2gig ram and 3.0ghz and all the games lag like hell. What could be the prob?

 

[stormy13]

Didn't say you had a Radeon 9550, I assumed you were using the onboard video. Now that I know that there is the last Vista driver for it,

ATI Catalyst

which would probably help. Before installing that download the last Vista chipset driver for the motherboard,

http://www.viaarena.com/Driver/VIA_HyperionPro_V524A.zip - direct download link

as an installed and working AGP driver (not to be confused with the video car driver) is required for the video card driver to install and function properly. Once that is installed then install the ATI driver.

Give that a try and see how the games run (should also get Aero working). With the age of most of those games you listed that card should be enough to play most of them on at least medium settings.

 

[Core7]

Oky I will install the last driver and then the ATI Catalyst?

 

[stormy13]

Yes. Chipset always before other drivers.

 

[Core7]

The direct driver doesn't work it says "can't find the proper component for the platform".

 

[stormy13]

What happens if you try installing the ATI driver?

 

[Core7]

Thanks stormy you safe the day that driver works 100% he can jam games now thanx uhm I have another problem now with a other computer wondering if you might help me with that also please?

 

[stormy13]

That means the built in Windows AGP driver is enough for the ATI driver to install and work. Guess it also means you're not looking for another card.

As for another problem, I will if I can. Be a good idea to start another thread for it though.

 

[Core7]

Oky will do so then please look to my thread an see if you can help me...
