ATI9600
I was having some anomalies, mostly sluggish. I proceded to back up
everything, which I got done. And then reinstall. Scandisk from startup disk gave some message about wanting to copy table 2 over table 1 and I chose not to. It made a royal mess of drive with an endless list of DIR's. Should I have allowed the change? Obviously I could not have fared worse. Background, this is a 160G PATA drive setup with Seagate utility in windows. That is size limited and made 3 partitions. Next problem. Video. After reconfiguring the drive by temporarily hooking it to a minimum install of windows, that is limiting, partitioning, and formating, I proceded with a fresh install. All goes well untill I try to install the video drivers. Rebooting after the install produces sometimes the error that Exlorer can not be found and I need to reinstall windows. If I get past that, system locks with a msgsvr32 (not responding). I can get into SAFE mode and uninstall video drivers and associated programs and is OK. I've ran the install several times with same result. Different versions of drivers tried. I've formatted and installed WME several times, the last few times with bare minimum hardware. I've even tried not installing the rest of the MOBO CD after installing just chipset drivers and not continuing with audio and I end up with same result. I've searched ATI/AMD site for errors and no luck. The only difference in the system hardware since installs in the past is the monitor. Then it was an analog CRT. This is an analog/digital LCD. Even tried swapping from digital back to analog. Puzzled beyond comprehension. Norman |

Looking for opinions on the scandisk message and what might be going on with
my video?? I'm dumbfounded as to why I get the can't find explorer message aftter the drivers are installed and rebooted. Norman "Norman" wrote in message ...
