euankirkhope 0 Posted August 18, 2000 Consider these reasons, and choose the most appropriate 1. AMD had WHQL it certified by MS 2. The setup looked for a specific configuration that has a known bug. You're PC didn't have it. 3. The file was written a while back (June), and has only just finished internal testing and QA. 4. File size, date stamps etc where kept the same so no repair programs wouldn't replace it. 5 As the AGP port is actually a 64-bit PCI bus the updated code was in the AMDPCI.sys file which was updated. 6 amdagp file is only a wrapper and is never updated. That way, by calling another file (like amdpci.sys) the agp is always certified. 7 one of the other files that was extracted to your system $temp$ folder when you pressed "next" is actually the file in question, but some computer virus deletes it. 8 The setup program noticed that your PC was slow enough and didn't need more baggage, (hardware specific debug code). 9 You have driver signing set to MS only. (win+break >> hardware >> driver signing) 10 you arenot logged in as an administrator. 11 Your not actually using a AGP card, just an old 64-bit PCI card with a AGP connector, IE AGP 1x). 12 your temp internet files/ web-cache is giving you an out of date file. 13 Extract the driver and copy it manually to winnt/system32/drivers and most likely destroy your installation.
