    Post MSI 6309 with ATI and ME

    I am building a PC with an MSI 6309 lite, WINME, 1.2Ghz TBird, TRYING to use an ATI 32MB XPERT2000. When the system boots, just before the desktop shows, the screen goes black, and then NOTHING. Reset, and it goes into safemode, all is good, no conflicts. Downloaded the latest ME drivers from ATI - no fix. Tried a different AGP video card (el cheapo) and it works fine. It obviously appears to be ATI related, but I AM STUCK!!! Any assistance is appreciated.

    Try changing your AGP aperature size to a smaller size. Also disable 4x in your bios if possible... It might help.

    Maybe mess with the Driving Range to.

    This seems to be a common issue with Xpert 2000 cards & MSI boards. I have been asked this question a few times and it seems to be an incompatiabilty between certain MSI boards and this card. Both items work fine seperatly but not together.

    Is this issue confined to ATI and MSI, or to ATI? I have a ATI All in Wonder Radeon in a P4 850GB MB, and it does the same thing.

    Make sure you have the latest IDE drivers loaded. I called ATI about this specific problem and they walked me through it. I had to load the latest ATI drivers and IDE drivers at the same time. Next time I restarted everything came up fine.

    seeing how I just finished a ME reinstall on my own system which I am using to post this on, I think that I may have your answer.

    Simply put...THE GODD@MN ME XPERT2000 DRIVERS SUCK @$$!!

    k...better now..

    jsut boot to safe mode and change your display adapter to standard vga and reboot. then grab v7078 from ati's page. load them and you should be fine.
    BTW the new Via 4in1 agp drivers seem to kill the xpert2000 cards on some boards. If you are one of these ppl (I am) just re-run the 4in1 setup in safemode and when it asks what mode you want to install the agp drivers in, select uninstall.

    Thanks for the help team. I got tired of trying to get this stupid thing to work, so I install an MSI 32MB video adapter. It works perfectly.
