AGP Disabled? WTF?

[Shibathedog]

When I Run AIDA32 (Its a program that tells you stuff about your system, really usefull ) It says i have AGP Disabled, and Fast-Write, and Side Band Addressing, it says my PC supports all these things however

 

But i have an AGP Video card, how can it be disabled if its working O_o

 

and how can i fix this?

[Weirdy]

Maybe it's a bug with the app. Have you tried other diagnosis apps? Like PC Wizard?

 

Btw, AIDA32 is now known as Everest and it's not free.

Do you have an ASrock board?

I use ASTRA32... It works pretty well...

[Shibathedog]

yeah, i used AIDA32 because its one of those apps thats considered "portable" and was on my USB drive

 

Anyway i "bought" everest (no but i might actually, its a really great app and i want to support the guy) and it still said the same thing

 

I installed some drivers and things, and yay, AGP and all those things are enabled now!

 

Still one problem though, While i was updating drivers and such, i realized that there was a new version of the mobos BIOS availible, I can get either a floppy disk creator thing, or just the raw EXE

 

I dont have a floppy drive though :/ I tried making a bootable CD with Nero and it came up with some DOS crap but i couldnt find the exe anywhere on the disc (should i try burning it to another and swapping? Its really weird its some floppy drive emulator thing, anything better i should try?)

Stock Windows drivers for video cards do not support AGP Texturing/Sidebanding/FW period. They are just "generic" get you going drivers.

Obviously you've now solved this, but I thought I'd let you know.

oh yeah i know, it was weird because i already had the NVidia drivers installed, and usually that fixes it, i had to install actual motherboard drivers O_o stupid Intel

 

Would that FreeDos thing help me install the new mobo firmware?
