its gr8 u made such a long post . easier to troubleshoot when we got a clear picture . had a similar prob with asus a7v8x-mx and fx5200 . got those freaky vertical lines after xp install / xp sp2 update and updating drivers for card
try these
- Remove ur card if u have onboard graphics and run the computer to see if u have errors .
- install the drivers for onboard card and run
- uninstall the onboard card and restart in safe mode .
- if it asks for drivers , install display adapter as standard vga . if it doesnt ask for display adapater . restart in normal mode and choose standard adapter . u can also change from display properties which is recommended
- We need xp to be running in standard vga , so try the above options or any idea u might have to change it .
- once u have standard vga set , shutdown , add ur graphics card and boot into xp . if asked for adapter choose the inf from ur cd to install . Make sure its the xp driver .
- restart and u might be in windows , but without the control panel for ati .
- if this works and u are able to go into windows properly . make a restore point and then install the drivers from the original cd again to get back control panel
- as far as i know wdm capture not needed normally . if u need it , fix the prob with vga first and then maybe fiddle around with other stuff
