ATI + AB = WTH?

OC Maximus · #1 12-20-2010

Can't seem to get MSI Afterburner to work for the ATI GPUs. Keep getting "Failed to initialize display driver wrapper" error. I've reflashed the OS and reinstalled drivers a couple of times before installing AB and am still getting the same error. Had no such trouble with the Nvidia GPUS, AB and Rivatuner worked just fine.

OS: TinyXP Rev9
MOBO: Tpower i45
CPU: e8500
GPU: 5870 & 4870
Display Drivers: Tried 10.3, 10.4, 10.11, 10.12
Chipset Drivers: 9.1.1.1020
MSI Afterburner Version: 2.0.0

WTF am I doing wrong?

Try older AB and see if that helps? maybe 1.51 or older.

Oh did you image your OS's with nvidia cards/drivers installed? Just shooting from the hip here....

OC Maximus · #4 12-20-2010

No, imaged without display drivers. Gonna try an older version of AB once I get home from work.

Thanks,

If OCM is trying to run AB with no display drivers installed then he owes us a livestream in his undies.

LOL. Display Drivers are installed and reboot before installing AB. Home now, time to figure this thing out.

Good deal. Make sure to let us know the fix in case one of us run into the same problem.

Just ran through all AB versions to no avail. Also tried ATITool 0.26 and still no worky worky.
