Re: Video problem (?)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



What else do you have in the startup menu. The symptoms indicate something
is interrupting the data transfer to the monitor. Something running in the
background. Have you displayed task manager--processes?

Okay, I found Program Files>>ATI>> ATI Control Panel. I didn't see
a Catalyst Control Panel. Maybe it's the same thing, but could you
be more specific as to what to do there? And is there no risk of
disabling my video with no safety belt?

The ATI Control Panel is the same thing. ATI calls their drivers
"Catalyst" and sometimes the Control Panel is called that. Uninstall just
the Control Panel. When you uninstall mftr. video drivers (ATI, Nvidia),
the system will revert to basic VGA drivers.

Hello, Malke.
To be safe, I operated on my clone, off line. Had to go to Safe Mode
in order to beat the "denied Access" warning. Deleted ATI Control panel,
rebooted with Normal Startup. Video performance unchanged from before.
Deleted three suspects from Startup Menu (Norton Ghost Tray, HPBootOp, nad
HPWuSchd2) and tried again. Still the same. What next?
