I've been working with computers for a while now, and I didn't think installing a video card was a problem until I recently bought this AIW 9800pro.
First of all, the instructions only tell you how to install it if replacing an old card, not if it's in a new system setup.
The basic problem is that after windows is installed, and the motherboard drivers are installed, I put in the ATI cd and it says no compatible hardware found.
I did finally download the correct WDM display and Control Panel drivers.
And I read on ATI's site to first install the WDM then the display, then Control Panel, which I did.
And the card is workign now.
However, I can't install all the AIW software from the cd because it doesn't think I have an ati card.
From looking around this doesn't seem to be an uncommon problem.
But I haven't seen much of anything talking about the AIW software, only the drivers.
So what do I have to do to get this software, without it, I wasted about $100 for the AIW features.
Please help out, and ask for any information I might have left out or not thought about.
Thanks
