Need help with Radeon X1300

Bleako · November 27th, 2007, 08:19 PM

Hi, I tried the NGO ATI optimized drivers version 1.7.3 on my ATI Radeon X1300 Pro (256mb) recently, and I gotta say: Wow. Great improvement. I don't know if it worked for you, but in my case, I saw a big difference while playing Oblivion... and I would definitely want to keep using these drivers, but I have some problems..

First of all, it's no big deal, but once in a while, I get a blue screen saying that there's a problem with the file "ati2dvag.dll"... apparently this file makes my computer crash once in a while.

So. Okay. This happens once in a while, and I can deal with it because of the obvious performance boost the drivers give me. But now the main problem is that whenever I try to use the drivers, as soon as Windows loads, I get a black screen, no matter what I do, (only my mouse cursor is visible). This forces me to uninstall the NGO drivers and reinstall the official drivers. I tried putting back the NGO drivers, but this issue keeps reappearing!

I wanna know if this ever happened to any of you, and if you have any idea on how I can fix this... because I really wanna keep using the NGO drivers...

Thanks!

another opinion would be to get omega drivers, they are up to 7.10 so far

What's the difference between the Omega drivers and the NGO drivers

Sounds like a bad install

make sure your old drivers completely disappear before reinstalling the new ones
a reboot or 2 with no drivers might help

or one of those drive cleaner programs

diffrence between ngo and omega

im not sure different modder and a newer version?
used omega for years and allways good with ati cards
