Hi Jerome,

Found this for ya:

They run perfectly , thank you man !
My card 9800XT , driver with smartgart !
But they are some unnecessary places in the readme to remove the drivers !
The good readme ! :
In order to install correctly any version of FORSAGE® Driver Pack for an NT5-platform OS (Win2K, WinXP) you need to follow these instructions:

1. Go Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs - remove "ATI Display Driver";

2. Using RefreshFix utility developed by respectable sir int13H (www.radeon2.ru) clean up the system's registry from any entries of ATI's display drivers (Program > Clean registry). If the program requests to fix some errors at start, just close the dialog window using the X glyph in its upper right corner. After cleaning the registry, reply "no" to reboot request and close the program.

3. Reboot your system.

4. Start , Search , All files and type ati* and search in C:\WINDOWS\System32 , then remove all files found

7. (presently written for ?? only). After reboot, when the message appears "New device detected: display adapter (VGA compatible)" > select option "Install from special location" > "Don't search. I will select the proper driver myself" - "have disk..." > browse to the folder where the unpacked FORSAGE® files are located, select any INF file and click OK.

8. In case if message appears, "no hardware information is found in this location", uncheck "only compatible devices" in the driver selection dialog and browse/select the INF file again. If this issue doesn't appear, skip forward to step

9. Select your according device driver and/or softmod type, then click next. If any warning messages appear, that the driver has no digital signature, or it hasn't been certified for compatibility with WinXP, reply "Continue Anyway".

10. If the card is detected as two devices (Secondary adapter is present), refuse rebooting after installation of the first device and repeat procedure for the second one.

Why these modifications :
The refreshfix remove all the registry keys so it s unnecessary to do it manually !
You can t remove the ati* files before the reboot , when you uninstall your previously drivers !

Enjoy it guys !
