I have an ATI All in Wonder card with win2k professional.
Just loaded the drivers from the update page and now I do
not get any video.
I have ATI Media Center 7.9 and this driver was the
recommended update.
Anyone having a similar issue?
Thanks
Yes, I've had updates that made things worse. The last (and only) time this
happened on my W2K machine, I had to reinstall that sorry excuse for an
operating system. So therefore, I've learned my lesson: Avoid updating MS
machine if at possible.
In your case, a boot to Safe Mode should allow you recover video. Uninstall
(delete) the updated driver from the Safe Mode console. You should be able to
reinstall the original driver from there, too, but if not, just reboot. W2K
should "find new hardware", and either install the driver, or ask you for
one. You'll find the old driver on the W2K CD, or on the one that came with
the card.
If you can't boot to Safe Mode, try a Repair instead. That in effect
reinstalls W2K (or parts of it) without affecting your data, and should
reinstall the original drivers.
