    Possibly my biggest problem yet :O

    ok i was playing cod4 today and wondered why i have been getting bad graphics lag every few mins and an avrage of 50-100 fps when i only just got a new card at christmas ati 4850. I thought it was just normal and deemed it an unfortunate fact of life but then it hit me when andehh said he gets like 250fps constant. I have a crappy monitor atm and have to play in 1024x768 Rez atm but i don't think that should effect it. Will be getting a new 22 inch samsung one on Monday.

    The problem is any time i start my PC or try to open the ccc i just get this error:


    I used to have an Nvidia card but switched to ati. I think i un-installed the old drivers and everything but cant be sure . I've tryed uninstalling the ccc and reinstalling it around 5 times now but it didn't help, i also installing the Microsoft.net framework i think it was (seen it mentioned somewhere) but didn't help. The Ccc used to work for a while but just decided to stop one day so i dunno really.

    I heard andehh say that he gets like 250fps constant but i get nothing like that just seems like I'm on my old nvidia7600gs tbh. I had this problem with my 8800 before that i couldn't get thigh fps but i just sold it in the end and put the old one back in.

    So can anybody help me sort this problem or where to start at because uninstaling the drivers ain't working.

    Oh also i seen in my program files i have a Nvidia corporation folder but when i try delete it it says this:

    Computer Specs:
    Xp Home Edition 5.1 build 2600
    Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.06
    2560MB DDR2 Ram
    DirectX 9.0
    ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series 512Mb

    In Drivers-In dxdiag it says main driver ati2dvag.dll

    Thinks that should do it

    Big hamper full of the best pron available to the best answer :thumbsup:

    catalyst control needs .net services 1 and 2 to be installed i think...

    Use driver sweeper to get rid of nvidia stuff

    TBH if your having a lot of problems and have been for a while without a reinstall then it might be time to format and try again.

        Make sure you have .net 2 installed. If you don't it will give you errors according to the read me.

          The other thing is that your CPU is a huge bottleneck also, so you wont be getting half the performance out of your gpu

            I'm going with Ginger, your using a Pentium 4 with a 4800 series card? My first build computer is still running on a P4 and I wont put anything more than a 1900 series card.

              yeah hes totally right and it will bottleneck like crap but there clearly isnt something right.

              I talked to him on MSN and advised him to back-up, wipe and start fresh. Not an ideal solution for everyone but it sounds to me like his system is in need of it.

                  need to find out your chipset. I think everest can tel you that bu there might be an easier way im not sure.

                  I would guess you have a 915 chipset and your current cpu is about as good as its gunna get.

                  You could go all new stuff and get a E5200, G31 and 2GB DDR2 pretty cheap nowerdays if you wanted to lit that bottleneck somewhat... cheap but not free :p
