Visiontek ATI Radeon HD 3650 AGP Standard VGA?

[dlopez5]

hey torrentg i have a similar problem with this card setup... although i tried the link above to get to the site and it will not let me access the information. i have the card installed firmly and yet my compy will not see that there is a agp slot. it reads only the onboard video yet my monitor is plugged into the ati card. help
thanks

Hi, Dlopez5. Ya, I checked the link and I see it's down. Tell me the 4 digit hardware id for your card and I'll upload a new .inf for you.

Page 1 has instructions.

In the meantime, you might want to check if your motherboard could support running the onboard video with the AGP video card, simultaneously. Some motherboards cannot.

same issue

Hi, I have the exact same issue with the driver not loading. Could you repost the .inf file again as rapid share says the limit for downloads has been reached. 9596 is after dev_
My difference is that catalyst will not open

 

[torrentg]

Here's the inf for for 9596, based on the the 9.10 beta Catalyst from Guru3d.com. Should be good for the 9.9 Catalyst from ATI site as well or otherwise, too.

Thank you for the file. I tried to update the driver by browsing to your file but Windows keeps telling me that the best driver is installed.
I have disabled the automatic windows download in the device installation settings
Any ideas? TY

 

[torrentg]

You have to go to the device manager, right click your video card, choose properties. Click driver tab, then update driver. Click "browse my computer for driver software." Then, "let me pick from a list if device drivers on my computer." Next, have disk. Then browse. Now find the inf I made that you should have overwrote the default inf with that you previously extracted.

 

[dnr53]

I followed the exact path to the file and it says: windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
windows found driver software for your device but encountered a error while attempting to install it
The system cannot find the file specified

 

[torrentg]

That sounds like you did not overwrite the old extracted .inf with the newly downloaded one. The new .inf has to be placed exactly over the old one, overwriting it inside the extracted folder. Then install the .inf from there.

 

[dlopez5]

yeah that/s the same as mine... this problem seriously sucked when it shut my cpu completely down the other day.

 

[dlopez5]

i tried writing this myself the other day and i recieved an error message saying that windows could not regonize the license... strange. but hopefully when i get home i will try and reload win 7 and see if this will work out. downgraded to vista for the time being to fix the uglyness of xp lol

 

[dnr53]

I did it exactly the way you described and it continues to say "file not found". I also tried to install the catalyst from guru but that will not load and just says it encountered an error. Take end task in task manager to stop it
Visiontek believes it has something to do with my motherboard
I am lost and ready to pull this thing out

 

[dlopez5]

hey dnr53 did you happen to get those drivers to work? was wondering how it turned out for you?

 

[torrentg]

Something very minor is going wrong. It's not your motherboard. That's their excuse to you.

I think possibly it's because I used the .inf from the guru package and you guys are placing it to the 9.9 version instead. So it's looking for a file that doesn't exist in 9.9.

Tell you what. Decide which Catalyst version you want to use. Then upload the unmodified .inf. I'll download and change for your card(s) and re-upload.

This will work.

Torrentg,
I was hoping you could help me out, it seems im having the exact same problem as itsame66 however the .inf file does not work, everytime i try to overwrite regardless off which map or where it says system cannot find the file.
Hope to hear from you soon

 

[torrentg]

Hi Simono. Sure, I can try. Upload the .inf in your extracted folder to rapidshare. Post the link then I will download it, edit, reupload and provide a link. Also, please verify that your card's hardware id is the same as theirs, 9596. Then you could just download my .inf and overwrite what you have now and install using the device manager.

 

[Simono]

Hey Torrentg thanks for your quick response !
Okay im gonna fill u in on my actions, first i installed the cd that came with the card windows vista 32bit i do this reboot and screen stays black while its running, so i go in safe mode and deinstall the driver, after that i tried to download the driver from the manufacturers website which has like 3 windows 7 downloadable packages, they all fail. I also downloaded the second inf u posted, not entirely sure where to put it couse nothing is installed now i've been trying all kinds of stuff for 5 hours now and yesterday to yes the hardware id is 9596

 

[torrentg]

Alright. This is what you should do, Simono

Download the full 9.9 Catalyst driver from http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx, for Windows 7, 32 bit.

Run the file and it will extract to C:\ATI. After that extraction is done, the install program opens. Close this program now.

Open rapidshare.com and upload the .inf from C:\ATI\.... It's in there, in the packages folder, then inside drivers, then display. Then if there's more folders, inside W7. You want the .inf with CL in the name.

When you download it after I give a link, place it right over (copy and choose replace) the .inf you have now. Then install from the device manager using my previous instructions.
