Help!

Hi,
I registered to this forum just in the nick of time....... In powerstrip, it reports that the transfer mode is disabled for my Radeon 32DDR AGP card. It used to say DMA and now it's, well, disabled. It does say that it is hardware supported, but disabled. In BIOS, it is enabled, 4x, Fast writes,I don't know how this sorry state of affairs came to pass. I did some editing to registry, did I delete a string value I shouldn't of?

Also, Unreal Tournament only sees software support when assessing my video card
Thanks in advance!

700 Duron
Gigabyte 7zx1 KT 133 (BIOS updated to latest)
Radeon 32DDR AGP (latest driver)
Win98 (all updates)
256 MB
Sound Blaster Live value (latest driver)
Alcatel USB DSL

I deleted powerstrip and removed it from the reigistry, but the problem still persists.

My message in HT may have seemed kind of silly, but the HT forum members are a little territorial.

I wonder if powerstrip is correct. Maybe it is simply reporting it incorrectly. You could try downloading Sisoft's Sandra which has a system information icon that I believe checks AGP functions. It could verify this information.

My second guess would be to uninstall the driver for the Radeon by switching the display driver to "VGA", and then reinstall the driver again. This should reset any possibly erased registry entries. This might have some possibility of fixing the Unreal problem too. Another idea for the Unreal issue would be to make sure that you have the latest UT patch, and to reinstall DirectX.

Just ideas... good luck.

Directx 8 reinstall did the trick. Thanks a lot. Went to another forum, but no one could answer it. Thx again!
