Hi All,
First post on here and i'm hoping someone can help me. i bought a new PC last year. It's an Athlon 2000+, 512DDR ram, Radoen 9200 256Mb 8xAGP card. I had a crash last month & i ended up formatting & reinstalling everything. I didn't have the original disks from when i bought it, so i used a friends copy of winXP and downloaded all the other drivers from the net. The problem i have now is that the AGP controller is off. I've checked in the bios and it's set to AGP, but the speed control setting is shaded out so i can't change it. The PC recognises the card for what it is and i have the lastest drivers installed. i've also tried changing the AGP speed setting on the driver, with no luck. I've done some reading over the last few days on the net, downloaded the minibus driver for the board, but the system won't let me install it. It comes up with 'cannot find software or hardware device etc'. I'm at a loss as to what to do, so i'm stuck with a fast-ish PC that struggles to play any games without the card working. Thanx in advance for any help or replys.
