I have 2.4Ghz 533FSB 512 cache cpu
512 rdram
Radeon 9800 Pro card
Sound Blaster Audigy
80 Gb 8Mb cache hardrive
Window XP Pro with all the latest updates such as
Service Pack 1a, DX9a,....

I was refering to the Catalyst 3.1 version, not the 3.3, I 've tried both of them, and I got INF error for both of them, so how can I install for either of them? also, I tried to uninstalled old drivers, then install the 3.1 or 3.3, none of them work.

:evil:

jincuteguy, the 3.1 driver is not the best to use on the 9800 it's more stable with the 3.2. Having said that you should not be getting an inf error message. you need to do a clean install. Thats cleaning every reference to ATI off your system. use "drive cleaner" its only a small program but works well. You can find it on most site's like warp or rage, or just do a search for it.

If you want to make sure everyhing is gone you need to clean the ATI folders out from the registry, get rid of all the system32 driver files uninstall everything from the device manger. I can give you the full instructions for a clean install as reccommended by ATI but it's to long for a thread! Use my email and I'll relpy with instructions, it's the only way to eliminate that as a cause for the problems your having. There are also some new DNA 3.3 drivers over at rage in the forums that work really well! But until you have this problem sorted there is no point bunging up the system with more drive files.

Somtimes it needs a couple of goes, but then you have to start looking at other things, a modded inf file is good idea, make sure it's a clean install again. If not sometime's when I'm testing card's the problem is a faulty chip on the board that just cannot be read, or as simple as fitting a different main board ( obviously not a cheap soultion when your paying )

The granite chipsets in the ASUS board's do not like radeons that much but usually it can be solved in the way we have suggested getting the driver file's to play ball!
