Have you tried the Windows 7 drivers for that card?

Excuse my lack of knowledge with how ATI works exactly. I try to help regardless of what my knowledge is with things.

Anyways, how you tried just downloading the display drivers? https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/9-10_vista32_win7_32_dd.exe

 

[Weazel88]

Yep nothing works :/

Try navigating to C:\ATI\Support\9-10_vista32_win7_32_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W7_INF

Then running CL_83742 or CW_83742

Been a while since I've used ATI myself, but is CCC needed?

You want my custom .inf for 9.10 Catalyst package? Do you know what to do with it once you download it, if so? The HIS 3850 AGP is really awesome. You're going to be happy with it. Using ATI Tray Tools, you can overclock it to 800 MHz gpu, 2150 MHz memory and it will continue to function perfectly. That's within its "safe" range, what I always use for games. Make sure you put the fan speed high if you overclock.

Here's the full package you need. I made it as simple as possible.

RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

Extract it to C:\ATI

Update the driver by going to device manager, right click card, update driver, browse, let me pick, have disk, browse.

Now find CL_83742.inf in C:\ATI\Support\9-10_vista32_win7_32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\W7_INF

If it complains that it's unsigned, install anyway. Reboot. Choose an Aero theme by right clicking desktop, personalize.

Run setup.exe in C:\ATI\Support\9-10_vista32_win7_32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver

to get CCC installed.

i have Asrock AM2NF3-VSTA and Sapphire 3850 AGP
this config will not work??

Sorry, it is not within my control. There is absolutely nothing I'm empowered to do to help with your situation. NVidia has dropped support. This is why.

Here is a link to your motherboard. You can see that, in fact, it does use nForce 3.

There seems to be a possible workaround, but it is not a very practical. I refer you to this to do with it as you may.

I was able to get HD 2600 working in Win7 with Nforce3

After many attempts, I was finally able to get my ATI Radeon HD 2600 AGP working in Windows 7 32-bit using the method described by Jack006 here: http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/13935-x1950-agp-nforce3-x2-athlon-4000-problem.html

I have an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (nforce 3) with an AMD Athlon X2 4800+ (dual core). I also ran "bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" to disable driver signing. I used the latest Catalyst 10.6 driver hotfix. I was not working until I ran the Nvidia 5.11 GART driver.

Now I have a CCC icon in the Windows 7 system tray and I have dual monitor working.
