AGP Texture acceleration Diabled with ati radeon

[dizzyhigh]

hi hope somone can help,

In directX Diag agp texture acceleration is disabled.
i am using windows me. with a AMD K6II 500, Radeon 32mb ddr
I have an alladin GA5-AX motherboard which has an agp 1.0 slot. which should give me agp 2x which it is set to in the ati control panel. i have downloaded the latest agp gart drivers for my motherboard and agp texture acceleration still is not enabled. ive read all the other threads and am still unsure to what the problem is.

is it because i have a crap motherboard?

thanks in advance

Try udating the drivers for the video card and download
the newest DirectX version as well.

understand your pain, I have been stuck on this issue for the last week and a half with no results. I have a K62 500 384 MB of SDRAM a Radeon 7500 w/64MB awe SB 64 sound card and a FIC 503+ motherboard. I have loaded all the latest drivers for video, sound, motherboard AGP and BIOS and the latest DirectX driver DX81b and still nothing. I have reformatted my harddrive and tried a fresh load, nothing. What is bad is that this was all working before I upgraded the CPU chip (K62 350 to a K62 500)
If someone has any suggestions please let us know my hair is almost gone from me pulling it out and my family is about to abandon me and throw my computer out!

Okay, I got it working...only thing is I did several things at once so I'm not sure which did it - but here's what I did:

1. I did a search on the folder c:\windows\inf (c:\winnt\inf if running 2000/nt). I searched for files containing the word catalyst (because I have an ATI) and deleted what I found.

2. I uninstalled my video drivers via add/remove programs.

3. I opened device manager and uninstalled my display adapters.

4. I rebooted.

5. When windows found my new hardware it couldn't find a driver for it (because I deleted the .inf files) so it listed it as vga with an exclamation point.

6. I went to AMD's site and downloaded and installed this registry fix:

http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/utilities/largePageMinimum.reg

It says it's only for Windows 9x/Me/2000 and not for XP but I used it anyway (I'm running 2003 server).

7. I went to Microsoft's site and downloaded directx 9.0a (even though I already had it installed). I got it here:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/8/1/a81adbcd-3212-4cb7-b02a-183eee612bbf/dx90a_redist.exe

It's very important you download directx from that link because we need all the files for the next step (the normal download installs dynamically and won't help us).

8. I extracted the directx files to a folder and then I right clicked each cab file and extracted it's contents to a folder also (don't do the one ending in 98 if you're on 2000 and don't do the one ending in xp if you're on 98). I then went through each folder and right clicked on every .inf file and chose install. If you get an error on any of them it probably means your in a folder meant for a different OS so just go to the next folder.

9. After that I clicked on the Directx setup.exe and reinstalled Directx rebooting when prompted.

10. I reinstalled my display drivers rebooting as prompted.

11. I ran dxdiag and agp texture acceleration was enabled.

Before doing these steps I tried maybe 15 times uninstalling/reinstalling my drivers and reinstalling directx - I really think it was clicking on all the .inf files that did it but I can't be sure. Please let me know if you try this if it works for you. My e-mail is nicholaspstaff@hotmail.com

Thanks,

Nick
