The new AGP driver from AMD is out and I was going to update my W2K but when I run the exe. and reboot the driver version is still windows digitally signed, how do I get this to load the new AMD driver?

Consider these reasons, and choose the most appropriate smile

 

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12 your temp internet files/ web-cache is giving you an out of date file.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.
