madcat05 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I just installed them about 10 minutes after I posted this thread. So far so good and no issues that I've seen so far. setup went fine as well. did you uninstall your old drivers before you installed 3.9? I'm wondering because I did and maybe thats what messed Halo again. Although don't see why it would.

Schmoove Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 For the people who didn't know it. There is an ATi Catalyst uninstaller supplied by ATi. You can get it here: http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/misc/ca...alystutils.html I used it several times and it really does clean EVERYTHING. Which is nice!! After the reboot it will recognize your videocard as a standard VGA card, so there are no traces of ATi drivers left over. You can get ready for a nice and fresh install then! :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/113602-new-ati-catalyst-39-drivers-out/page/2/#findComment-1336116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat05 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Does anyone know how I might fix this problem between Halo and cat 3.9? When it happened with 3.8 all I had to do was set AF and Smartvision to Application Preference. I tried that with the 3.9s and Halo still freezes right before the menu shows up. Anybody got any advice for me? Thanks!

Shifty Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I have no desire to keep the 3.9's... im a huge fan of the Desert Combat mod for battlefield 1942 and it ran just fine w/ the 3.8s after removing the 3.8s per instructions @ driverheaven i installed the 3.9 and now when in desert combat, my aim sight is now messed up!! the x and y axis sights are there, but the aim dot is now gone!! makes it a bit harder to duck and snipe (camping :p ). also i noticed that some of the HUD icons flicker too. back to 3.8s...

Wildies Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Seems ATI didnt like 3.8's ones.....Thats A very Quick Release for 3.9 Gonna try it... I will do a clean Fomrat today cuz of my new HD and will put this drivers in my unatteneded XP's cd (Y) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/113602-new-ati-catalyst-39-drivers-out/page/2/#findComment-1338163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoove Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Schmoove thanks for telling about catalyst uninstaller - i had no idea it existed.tell me you think it clears alll traces of omega drivers too. i guess it does... but wanted to hear someone elses opinion before i run it. The Omega drivers are 99.99% the same as the default Calatalyst drivers. It only adds a couple of tweaks and support for some mobile videocards. The extra support for mobile cards is just a matter of modding the INF file of the installer.... when installed these parts won't remain on your harddisk so basicly if Omega only did this the drivers would be 100% the same. He also adds tweaks, to make these work he has to put them in the same registry branch as ATi places them. So for short, yes this uninstaller will also uninstall the Omega drivers, it will remove all ATi related files and registry keys. It will not remove extra junk that Omega puts in (like an overclocker). Personally I don't like Omega's drivers, but everyone has its own opinion that.

matt74441 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I was hoping that the 3.9 drivers would solve all of my Halo problems (game randomly locks up), which re-emerged when I downgraded to Windows 2000. I guess its up to Microsoft and Gearbox to patch their crappy software.

isus Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 i probably didn't read enough, but i don't see it... the overclocking via the control panel... how does that work? i don't see it... only for xt's? and if all you have is a 4x agp slot, what is the best ati card to get? i was thinking about upgrading everything, but that costs to much... $100 for new mobo, $200 for new ram... etc etc. it would be just like building a new pc. i was thinking 9600 pro w/ 128mb... they're only $150...
