Ive installed Windows now and all is good, but one thing is troubeling me...

Ive installed all the drivers, and everytime windows start i get "new hardware found" and i dont know what it is...

anyway,

When i goto the device manager and look for the one that is not installed corectly, and goto "properties" it says it is associated with the ATI X800 AGP card, but the drivers are installed and if i look under display adapters it is listed..., very confused
 
ok i had that exact same problem when i just buiult a system for my neice with a x800xl. i cheated and told it to ignore it in divice manager. but later i think i realised what it was. i only installed the drivers for the main part of the graphics card i dint install the wdm drivers wich relate to its tivo functions.

did you install divice drivers only or did you get the full package containing the catalyist conroll center and the wdm or wmd drivers (cant remmer wich way it is :D )
 
Most x800xl had ViVo, which utilised the WDM drivers anyway, as although it wasnt a full on TV card, it could take limited imputs, and had a chip to accomodate for this.
 
Yeah its the WDM drivers, doesn't need to be an all in wonder card, the WDM drivers are for the VIVO as said, as the card has the rage theatre chip on it. :)
