Update video drivers, now will only boot in safe mode with an error

[SmurfyUK]

Help!

I have just purchased a new system:-

Abit IC7 Motherboard
Intel P4 3.2Ghz
1GB Corsair memory
ATI Radeon 8500 64MB
Ect...

I have installed Windows Xp with Sp1 and straight after the Intel chip set software (from the Abit CD). When the computer started up for the first time it did not identify the video card so I installed the drivers that came with the video card from the CD - no problems.

I have now been to the ATI web site and downloaded the new drivers (latest) installed them rebooted.....and here is where my problem beings..

The computer starts to load XP then the monitor switches off. So a reboot is in order, after the reboot I went into safe mode and windows complained about the video card drivers below is the error message....


Input/Output Range 03B0 - 03BB used by:
Intel(R) 82875P Processor to AGP Controller - 2579
Input/Output Range 03C0 - 03DF used by:
Intel(R) 82875P Processor to AGP Controller - 2579
Memory Range 000A0000 - 000BFFFF used by:
Intel(R) 82875P Processor to AGP Controller - 2579

So I rolled back the drivers and rebooted the machine, works ok, checked the (device manager) settings and they are exactly the same Input/Output addresses this does not make sense...

I have tried playing a few games on the system but it keeps asking me to update my video card drives..


HELP!!!!

Some of the ATI cards are a little finicky about this. In the readme file with ATI's Radeon drivers, they always tell you to uninstall the old drivers before installing the new ones. When following this proceedure, I have never had any trouble. (64Mb Radeon 8500 with XP Pro SP-1, BTW)

The Intel chipset drivers sound like the trigger for this.

You could uninstall your ATI control panel and downgrade you graphics to basic VGA; install the drivers from

- fixes most glitches....

The latest Intel AGP update is

Uninstall the ATI drivers and Control Panel from Safe Mode before you update.

Update Chipset Drivers from the correct website (Intel in this case...), then retry the graphics drivers...
