Hi,

Update DirectX: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Is the card AGP or PCI-E?
See if there's an updated driver for the card (follow the installation instructions carefully): http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_ca...=xp/radeonx-xp

If that doesn't help - include the system specifications in your next post.

Snoopy792

I have:
ECS KT600-A
AMD Sempron 2600+ at 1,83 GHz
Kingston,DDR,400MHz,1GB
HIS ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO,AGP,512Mb,Crossfire
Maxtor 6Y080L0,IDE,80Gb
Windows XP SP2
..and i don't know exactly my computer's power supply..
p.s.where do i get the directx 10 ??

Are there other problems with the card or is it only the DirectX 7 & 8 tests being "glitchy"?

DirectX 10 is for Vista only. Install the version I posted earlier.

ATI driver: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_ca...=xp/radeonx-xp
Be sure to uninstall the old driver first and read the installation instructions carefully.

thank you very much i do what u told me and than i tell you if i still have any problems..:)

Deleted090308

HI...I'M BACK with the same problem...:(...finally they brought me the new graphics card and now those tests are different ...direct3d teste(all of them) show me a spining cube but it's spinning so fast so i could not see what is actually there...why?:(..help please i'm tired of all o these..thank you.

Deleted090308

Too fast?
Is it only the DirectX tests being "funny" - not games etc?

ATI released a new video driver recently: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

Snoopy792

test are "funny"..but the games are like before..u know..overlaps..poor graphics..etc...and i want to mention that i cant install any newer driver because it says: "setup did not find a driver comaptible with your current hardware or your operating system.setup will now exit"..and that's all...:-<..why?

Deleted090308

Are you running two 2600's in crossfire?
If so, try removing one of them.
And - you know, this might be a power problem. We need to know what PSU you have. Look at the sticker inside the case.

Use the links in post #4 for driver + installation instructions.

Snoopy792

what do you mean by "two 2600" ???..i have only one card but i have there 2 ports for 2 monitors(if this helps the question somehow)..and i use just one of them..and how do i remove one of the,? and today i changed my psu also...it's of 500W..(my video card requires 450)..and that link i used for downloading and istalling a new version of my driver..that download gave me that error...

Look at post #3 - you say crossfire (means at least two cards).

About PSUs - it's not all about watts. Quality is more important. Look at the amps on the +12V rail. You'll need 18A for the AGP video card.

Snoopy792

i wrote there beacause on my card writes"plug-and-play crossfire upgradeability makes it easy..bla bla"and there u wrote that on system requirements u must wrote if its crossfire or sli...and i know that sli it's not....blaa...i dont know it is actually.....and about psu i tink it's ok with that beacause at the store they put me something that work..i told them my problem and they said that's nothing with the psu....i dont know what to say..

the psu is ok..it's just like u said on +12V rail-18A...and about crossfire it's written on my card:"plug-and-play crossfire upgradeability makes it easy to scale up graphics permance....etc"....does that mean that my card is crossfire?

srry for repeating but i wasnt sure if i posted my internet connection had some lilttle problems

dai

what brand is the psu

Snoopy792

It's Delux 500w

so...i have ONE card it's an Ati Radeon HD 2600 PRO...and it's AGP...let's forget about the crossfire maybe i understood wrong..because i did not know what that mean..but now i know...srry for the confusion.thnaks

dai

try another psu in it

Snoopy792

i changed my psu yesterday....why shouldn't this work?..

hi..i have just reinstalled my graphics driver and it seemes that something has changed..now those direct3d test are like in post #1......but still not working..

edit for post #19: to be more specific i get this error:
Direct3D 8 test results: Failure at step 32 (User verification of Direct3D rendering): HRESULT = 0x00000000 (error code)
..and the same at Direct3D 9 test

Reinstall the chipset driver: http://www.viaarena.com/Driver/via_h...npro_v518a.zip

What video card did you have before the 2600 Pro? Did you remove the drivers for that card?

Download Driver cleaner - don't use the program yet.
Uninstall all video driver in Control panel/Add or remove programs.
Restart Windows in Safe mode (tap F8 when the computer starts) and run Driver cleaner. Remove all video driver "remnants", if any.
Restart again, install the new driver.

Reinstall DirectX: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

I had a Nvidia GeForce FX5200 and yes removed them all before installing the new one...i will install the and post after that..thanks

i have a questiion..why do u mean by "remants"...is that a name?of a file?....(i dont know really well english)

Deleted090308

Remnants = rest, leftover. Some times the uninstaller doesn't remove all parts of the driver. To get rid of the last bits you can use DriverCleaner.
