PC Problems calling IT peeps.

[Azman]

Hi guys,

Wonder if anyone can help me is one.

I have just done a bit of work to my desktop PC, installed 4GB ram (up from 1) and also anew GFX card Ati 2600HD pro. Now when it had XP on it ATI Catalystcontrol center installed beautifully but I was not using the full 4GB of ram as only 32bit, so installed windows 7 (the year long trial version) and updated CCC to go with.

So tried to patch up the Two screens
1. Standard dell 19" monitor LCD
2. Sony Bravia 32" tv

Firstly it recognised both but would only clone the screens,
then after another restart the Sony screen had red haze all over it
another restart and now it does not recognise the dell and is using the sony as main screen. adjusted resolutions and refresh rates and restarted again
Now it just won't recognise either TV.

So gone back to basics and just plugged the Dell monitor in.

Just a complete mess wrong resolutions etc,

So removed drivers and CCC to reinstall with a just updated version, and it won't even recognise the card now

HELP before it goes out the window!!!!

Cheers
Az

Have you downloaded the 64bit version of you drivers?

[Azman]

Whew sorted it finally after 2 days of trying.

Don't know what it was just tried again and it has detected the card and all is set up correctly with no issues coolio.....

Cheers

Remember 7 is still a beta, so you can expect some issues like this (get a mac )

So far though I am pretty impressed, its kinda what Vista should have been!

Aint no beta, its release candidate 1 now :-)

I'm running it here in work and was also suprised how well it works, didnt have to download any drivers or mess with it, just worked out of the box. New taskbar is really nice too. ....dont get me started on Mac's though, expensive paper weights.

The RC is still technically a beta...in that it is free and a limited licence.

haha, expensive paper weight? how are they expensive? you buy it and need nothing else, not like a crummy window pc which has nothing with it!

Just kidding, I know there is a case for both...

7 is good though, so far, I needed no drivers either!
