Gambba 0 Posted January 4, 2002 When Playing Ofp nine times out of ten the monitor signal goes out of range, I'm using an ATI All-in-wonder 128 graphics card with directX 8, this has only started happening since 1.30, 1.29 was fine. I've tried playing with the refresh rates and various other settings, but still to no avail. Any ideas? I'm just looking for brief suggestions at the moment, will post complete system spec if needbe.

theavonlady 2 Posted January 5, 2002 Did you upgrade to 1.30 from 1.29 beta? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gambba 0 Posted January 5, 2002 I did intially, but then after seeing various posts on the problems with upgrading to 1.30 over 1.29 I started from scratch. Â (Scratch meaning I deleted all exsisting OFP files, and reinstalled right from the begining with version 1.0 then 1.1 then 1.20 then 1.30.) When I went from 1.29 to 1.30 orginally I experienced two problems I had never encountered before, one was it crashing to desktop and the other was this signal going out of range fault. Â I had never had any problems with OFP before 1.30! Installing 1.40 has stopped it crashing to desktop but has not helped with the monitor problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DigiJo 0 Posted January 6, 2002 hi gambba, seems to be you have installed the wrong driver, as i know the rage fury is not the same as the all in wonder 128 pro.. (even if they have both the rage 128 pro on board) try the 4.13.7192 from ati , they are fast and stable. (i have the same card) here is the link: http://support.ati.com/drivers/winme/winme_r128_4137192.html greetings, DigiJo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DigiJo 0 Posted January 6, 2002 again i forgot something, it is very important to deinstall all software (the ati mmc) and drivers for the ati and delete all ati-files (the ati*.inf-file´s too) from your harddisk. then start your system with standard-vga-card from the windows-cd and install the new drivers. otherwise you get an driver-mix and problems.. greetings, DigiJo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gambba 0 Posted January 7, 2002 Thanks very much for the advice Digijo, let you know how I get on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
