windows won't let me enable agp ???

[Soulkeeper]

i can't get agp mode to work with my video card in windows anyone know why ??

feel free to ask questions i'm sitting right here

Tried uninstalling the video drivers and agp drivers and reinstalling them?

 

[Soulkeeper]

yeah I tryed that
I tryed different versions

I can't figure out how to completely take DX9a off my system tho
I suspect that could be my problem
do you know how to do that ??

 

[Doh!]

I had a similar problem w/ an ATI card after installing DX9a. I tried a couple of DX-removal programs found on-line but the programs didn't work too well (they were originally designed for DX7 or DX8). I just restored the hd image to fix the problem.

Soulkeeper, did you just get that card, or have you had it for a while? I just went from an AIW 8500 to a 9000 PRO card and had a similar problem, the new card would not do 4x AGP although the old one did. I returned the card and wound up getting a 9500 PRO and have no problems with it at all, works perfectly. Maybe the Ti4200 is defective...

Check your BIOS to see if you have any AGP options.

Chipset drivers installed?

Format to get rid of DX9. If you don't have a dx9 compatible card don't install it? I doubt that's the problem though.
What does dxdiag say? Install chipset drivers then the 4in1's or AGP may not work

Make sure AGP is enabled in bios

Ok i got it solved
i guess windows was picky about the order you install stuff
after reinstalling windows and trying 6 different versions of nvidia drivers and different dx versions and 4-in-1 versions i guess that windows wanted the 4-in-1 drivers installed before upgrading dx, not after, and i guess that's all it needed
