AGP Status Disabled
Hi....
Have had a problem with games and video not giving quality or definition, and I notice that 'Everest & Aida' both state that my AGP is disabled. I dont see how this is possible as everything else relating to graphics on my computer works. I have checked everywhere in the BIOS to see if anything reflected this. I found that the 'Video Ram Cacheable' was disabled so enabled I it, but Everest still states AGP is disabled. Here is what everest says under the 'Motherboard, Chipset' heading:: AGP Controller AGP Version 2.00 AGP Status Disabled AGP Device nVidia GeForce2 MX/MX400 AGP Aperture size 64 Supported AGP speeds 1x, 2x, 4x Fast-Write Not Supported Side Band Addressing Supported, Disabled Anyone got any ideas on this one?? (I also have a similar spare agp card the only differences between the two being; one has a fan on it the other has large heat sink; one has video out for using telly as screen... Both cards get the same msg from Everest. oh, the drivers for the card(s) are latest current drivers) Thanks |

AGP Status Disabled
Happen to encounter the same situation, H, but the *remedy* involves a *major operation* and must be quite costly, too. So far I have experienced few of the mentioned *drawbacks* in this case, probably because I don't use it's features all that much. Is there an easier way to accomplish the same results? Harry.

AGP Status Disabled
I'm no guru on the subject, I have always been fortunate enough to have the
machine recognize what I put in there and it did not require going into the BIOS, messing with the motherboard, etc. A Google search for "enable AGP" brought that site up, along with a multitude of others. Surely, there must be something there that would help. Heirloom, old and back to rebuilding the engine "webster72n" wrote in message ...

You've got to click on the right link(s) in order to get *there*. Try it sometime. By now I have registered for their forum and posed my question there, because simply updating my driver didn't help. Will let you know, as soon as I do. H. Glad you enjoyed talking. |

Will let you know, as soon as I do. H. Have just come from VIA's site. Downloaded the latest chipset package. Ran SetUp but got this Error msg::: "Unhandled Exception, Error Number - 0x80070725, Description - Incompatible version of the RPC Stub, SetUp will now terminate" Have 'joined' Via forum and posted there, but forums sometimes take a while. Do you know anything about RPC Stub? |

Description - Incompatible version of the RPC Stub,
All Fixed............... I remembered a similar Stub Error from around 10months ago, it was to do with a system file called 'oleaut32.dll'. I replaced it just now with a back-up copy I kept, then ran the Via chipset SetUp and voila, my AGP is now Enabled. Am happy. |
