I have never said I was very bright, but I have been able to install
video drivers many, many times before over the years.
I am completing an A7N8X system build. Fairly simple setup

Specs***
Win200 SP4
Antec case w/350SL ps
A7N8X
AMD 2800+ Barton @ 333
ATI Radaon 9600SE
512 Crucial 2700
Lite-on CD/DVD combo
WD 80 GB HD
*****

I have installed the nForce drivers for the mainboard and the ATI
Software. When I boot up, Win2000 indicates "found hardware....". I
select select "have disk", however no driver is found on the cd. In
Device Manager there is a section Other Hardware with question marks.
No entry for Display Adapeter.

ATI Site is no help either.

Why have I made this so difficult?
Thanks for your help,
PeteH

Pete, there should be a setup.exe file on the disk. Rathe rthan do that
though I would download the latest drivers from the ATI web site. Tell
windows to ignore the new hardware and then run the setup file from the
new driver install. This will solve your problem.

so what drivers is it looking for? video? audio? lan? ???
look in device manager and see what devices are loaded with the
correct/latest drivers, this will help you narrow down the devices that
havent been installed.

Did you try pointing the driver dialogue to the folder where you expanded
the ATI drivers to? typically c:\ati\support.....you may have to punch
down through the folders to find the correct .ini

As far as your video drivers.. did you download the latest W2K drivers
from ATI and install them yet? you mentioned ATI software, do you mean
drivers?

It mentions SP4 needs to be installed.

That's a puzzlement. I had Catalyst 4.9 drivers installed on my
system. Today, I cannot open up the Catalyst Control Center. It says
that there is no ATI driver installed or that it's no functioning
properly. So I went to ATI and found that the Radeon-series driver
they're currently offering for download is 4.12. We've been through
everything from 4.2 to 4.9 over the last year. Why is ATI now back to
4.12. I realize it's WQHL certified, but why the confusing switch in
numbering? Is 4.12 really an upgrade from 4.9??

Thanks, John. Downloading from ATi orked. The drivers come as part of
a 22 mb download and you need to be sure that all MS-updates have been
applied. The ATI Software requires Microsoft.net Framework( whatever
that is). Comes as part of the updates.

Everything seems to be working now.
Thanks again,
PeterH

SP4 was installed. Appears to need Microsoft.net Framework to operate
properly.

the .net is needed for the catalyst control panel, which is a hunk of
junk at this time, suggest you uninstall it and use omegas drivers.
