new driver question.

[aguido]

I was wondering if the VIA/ATI AGP driver issue had been fixed
with ati video cards from the 9x00 series, and 939 mobos with via
chipsets. i have an A8V and a 9800pro AIW, for the most part i can
play games with the ms driver. but i still run into issues and was
wondering if updating to the newest via drivers would finally fix
it.</p>

[narciso]

I installed these drivers and i don't have image in all my
directx games, opengl doesn't seem affected.</p>



I have an Asus A8V Deluxe motherboard with a Geforce 6800 with
81.95 drivers.</p>



I isolated the problem uninstalling the AGP drivers. without
them I have image again. Weird.</p>



What's the matter with these guys. Don't they even test the
drivers beforce releasing it?</p>

[aguido]

haha, doesn't look like it. I just wish i could play games while
my videocard is still good enough to play them [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]</p>

9800 pro is still a very good card. Too bad agp implemetation on
via board is weak. Do you tried these drivers yet?</p>

[aguido]

No, because right now i can still play a bit, but when the old
via drivers were installed it worked for a few minutes then
crashed. I would do it now but the only way to remove them is a
reformat.</p>

Ok, I've found this topic too late...I 've installed these new
hyperion drivers and I can't play any game, except doom3 ou quake 4
(opengl games)</p>



I have a 6800gt with the latest forceware drivers (81.95). My
motherboard is an Abit AV8 (socket 939) with an AMD 3500+.</p>



Do I have to uninstall these hyperion to get everything back to
normal?Or do I have to reformat my system? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]</p>

[aguido]

I was never able to remove the drivers so i had to reformat. you can try to remove the drivers and if that fails then you have to reformat.

[NiukNiuk]

Yeah, that's what I just did</p>



I ran the hyperion installer, selected "uninstall",
checked everything, rebooted, and to my suprise windows didn't
detect anything and didn't advise me to install a driver...lol the
Via uninstaller uninstalls nothing...great.</p>



And of course the games still don't work.</p>



Well...time for me to reformat, thanks a lot VIA ! I'll remember
this.</p>

[narciso]

You don't need to reformat, just uninstall the agp driver and
everything go back to normal. Glad to see I'm not the only one with
that problem. I think this drivers are more suitable to X64</p>

[NiukNiuk]

First I selected "uninstall" then I only checked the
agp driver.</p>



Uninstall done, reboot, and the games still don't work</p>



I've launched again the uninstaller, checked everything (ide,via
machine driver etc...), rebooted and it's still the same thing.</p>



Once rebooted, windows doesn't even ask for install a driver nor
detects something new that is not installed on my system...that's
weird and i wonder if this uninstall application works.</p>



Now I think that I have to reformat [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]</p>



I'll do this tomorrow, it's too late now...or someone give us an
explanation or a good technique on how to effectively remove the
via agp driver and install the windows default one.</p>
