Can't get ATI tool to run.

[JohnnyG]

Is ATI tool supposed to work in Vista64 on an 8800gtx as I've disabled driver signing both in bcdedit & vistaboot pro, reinstalled a few times and tried the last 2 versions including the beta. I keep getting the kernal driver error at start up, am I missing something?
If it aint gonna work is there any other way of auto detecting my max cores?

I installed it and it runs but when i click on artifact test i get

the card you selected does not seem in use by windows

got display properties yadayda

Does it work on SLI?

How have you disabled driver signing? There are a few BCDEDIT commands floating around, and only one works:

You do have to force x64 to not force un-signed drivers. I have ATI-Tray Tools and ATITool running fine on my x64 Ultimate build.

Run a command prompt as administrator, and then type:

bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

Yes, the double "D" in DDISABLE is intentional and not a typo

Aye, as far as I know if you only boot up in Admin mode and disable driver signing it only works for that boot rather than a permanant change. Might give that command a go, though I found installing Rivatuner somehow permanantly disables it as well to let all other programs work right like Coretemp and ATItool.

I am using the 'DD' command, as admin too. If says the operation completed successfully but that don't help.
Rivatuner is also installed.

If ATITool pops up with that "Kernel Device driver not loaded" error simply follow these steps:

1) Close ATITool
2) Open Device Manager, find "ATITool driver" (at the top), disable it
3) Re-enable it
4) Open ATITool

Repeat steps 1-4 if you keep getting the error message. Usually after about 1-3 times it will work fine.

I haven't disabled anything anywhere and this works for me on Vista x64.

You beauty, works a treat

Since that issue was resolved, mind if I hijack this thread?

I have a 2900XT on WinXP and ATI Tool will not load, it hangs and crashes and makes a mess on the screen. There is a tooltip that displays from the task tray just before it goes belly up that says two sensors or some such, the values reported are 1.#J0 ...

Any ideas appreciated.
