Hi Giakomon,

I'm not sure if this will be of any help or not. I recently updated to the ATI 002 driver, and the update did not go well. The system was "flaky" after the first install of the new driver, and Catalyst Control Center would not run. I'm not sure why. My only theory is that I didn't install the driver as administrator. I had to uninstall the driver through Windows 7 and reinstall from scratch. I subsequently played with a few settings (specifically the 10-bit color setting) in the "new" driver, and caused an unrecoverable blue screen, and the only way to recover was to roll back to a previous restore point in Windows prior to when I had attempted the ATI update. The next time I attempted to update the ATI driver, it still didn't work properly, and Windows uninstall didn't work either. I had to use the ATI uninstall utility, and then reinstall the new drivers again from scratch. As they say, "third time is a charm" and everything now seems to be working properly. I don't have Maya, so don't know if the issues with Maya would be occur on my system; however everything else seems to be working properly.

If you do end up reinstalling the ATI drivers, you might want to ensure you "run as administrator" and if the install doesn't work properly, then completely uninstall and reinstall again. The install doesn't seem to work properly unless it is preceded by an uninstall first.

Again, I'm not sure this will be much help, but thought I would share my experience.

Keith,


Explain to Giakomon, on how to use the, ATI uninstall utility.

and Giakomon. add some screen shouts of device manager and the driver in question.

 

Hi MannyA, thanks for the hit.

unfortunately I haven't got any power management option for that device, please see attached. I included for comparison which option I've got for the other working USB root Hub.

no hope!

 

Hi Keith,

I had a lot of issues similar to yours when with this new ATI drivers. I did exactly what you did in order to run the card properly. I also had that "10 bit color setting" problem you also had. Blue screen...and so on.
The latest driver worked fine. I've just got serious issues with Maya using them (2x slower along some unpredictable behaviours). the A00 version work fine, fast and stable.

by the way with ATI 002 driver do you mean "8.681, A01"? this is the most recent version on Dell website. I'm using 8.633.2RC3, A00.


Anyway when my machine came it had no ATI CCC just the latest drivers were installed (8.681) and the whole system had problems when using any open gl application including adobe CS4 that didn't even recognized that an open gl card was installed.


I'm start thinking that ATI driver and USB 3.0 are not related....

 

giakomon,



In the NEC Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller Properties, go to the Driver Tab > Update
Driver > Select “Browse my computer for driver software” then select “Let me pick from a
List of device drivers on my computer” > Click on the “Have Dick” button, then Browse to

C:\DELL\DRIVERS\R255278 Click OK


And post back if it works or not...



Hope this helps,

 

by the way....just want to say that the system is incredibly stable now, everything works (except USB 3.0). ATI card as fast (or more) as my quadro FX3500 that I got on my desktop and the whole system is very fast as well.

another interesting note is that my RGB screen seems to be an LG (LGD0241). Colors are fine (I'm using a colro profile called DISPLAY_D65.icm got around here...that gives me nice result).
Anyway I notice a slight but noticeable reddish spot on the bottom left corner of the screen. Nothing too bad...I also read around the thread that dell doesn't provide the LG also because of this...although I'm not sure about it.

does anyone has this version of the screen for comparison?

 

Hi mannyA, I did this already...sorry I didn't mention it before. It's not working.
