A problem with agp

[Miexeker]

You will notice my english is not so good...

I have a problem with my agp. My card is radeon 9550. And the direct x texture aceleration by agp and the agp in the catalyst control center is off, and i havent any option to turn it on. I have installed the last drivers from this page for my motherboard, but when i reboot my computer, the image crash. I only see crazy colours and black finally. I have tried with a lot of drivers and a lot of posibilities and always the same thing.

I hope you can help me please. Thanks.

Well it was a 3 day week-end here in the UK and I went away for a break, can'y speak for others here. What AGP driver version is installed, check in device manager.

[Miexeker]

Ok, i understand.

Via cpu yo agp controller:

controller date: 15/08/2001

controller version: 5.1.0.170

Firmante digital: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher

When i install the last version of the agp drivers for the motherboard the agp acceleration is on (i think), but the image break and its appears a lot of crazy colours and finally the black.

thanks for all

Turn off fast write and put 4x agp speed.

[Miexeker]

I tried to desactivate fast write and turn the agp speed to 4x, but in the bios the only velocity avatible is 8x. And in catalist control center i tried to put in 4x but when i reboot my computer is again on 0x (desactivated).
