    HD3870 Too Old For XP SP3??

    Okay I've redon BHz to sale to a friend for a general web sufer/business apps. It currently has an abit NF-M2 nView/Opty 1210. When I run it from the onboard 6100 everything is fine however when I add the Sapphire HD3870 with the "current" drivers I get this......



    Where it'll only give the smallest screen setting long with only 4 bit color.

    WTF??

    I got that same message for my crossfire 5870.
    I'm on vista so it just searched for the update and restarted.
    works fine.

    make sure that u picked the correct driver and if that fails unplug the card and then plug it back in (with the computer off of course) that will set the device and windows should fix its self with it.

    One thing I forgot to mention and that may have caused all of it........I kept getting a dang missing driver message (oldfartondum has me forgetting the message ) that has been associated with SP3 and older mobos. The GPU was working at that point but when I deleted SP3 that's when things went down hill. Even after I reloaded SP3 the issue existed.

    Anyway I've got to deliver this system tomorrow so I took the easy way out and replaced the 3870 with a 9600 I have and everything is "peachy".
