Problem with ATIKMDAG.SYS ATI Radeon Kernel mode driver Vista Beta 2, build 5384, Asus P5WD2-Prem, ATI-X1900XTX Anyone have a solution?

I believe the answer is...patience. This is a common problem and one waiting for a solution to a beta release.

I have a problem with my RADEON caard also, maybe microsoft is partial to NVIDIA? Shame on you microsoft...

Thanks, I saw that there are many user with the same problem with atikmdag. Almost I can't config the thermal control of my video card, the Catalyst 7.4 on my system haven't the option VPU recover, ATI Overclock. I have probed to install ATITools and tried to configure some option but after the system crashed. I removed the ATITools. My system go well without ATi driver!!!! Wonderful but without 3d acceleration, aero, and glass effect. You know if one patch is still in progress to resolve these problem with ATi card? Thanks Best Regards. laacagoia

Ive recently built a new computer with vista 64Bit and Msi's new 2600 diamond plus card thinking wow this is gonna be a decent mid range computer. ive had this thing for a week now and after countlessly bouncing my head off the wall and locking myself in my computer room to trouble shoot this atikmdag file stuff and after trying everything from drivers to ati tools to rivatuner (btw area pain in the rear to get working in vista even if you get it to) to control the fan speed because that seems to be the issue here. when the fan needs to kick in my favorite error pops up to tell me that another attempt has failed after tirelessly trying everything i could think of i decided to take matters in my own hands. what i did is not ment to be done in any way shape or form by someone without the know how here it is im not gonna say 100% its gonna work for you but if your up to it and you have the nads this is what i did its really rather simple i took a old case fan with the 4 pin connector on it and cut the wire off the fan NOT THE PLUG you will need the plug later . next i unplugged the fan from the graphics card notice i said UNPLUGGED. then i took the fan wires and cleaned off some insulation on the ends and stuck those ends into the fan power (MATCH THE COLORS UP BLACK to BLACK and RED to REDdont worry about that yellow wire on there).connector(make sure you use some electrical tape so the wires dont come out after that i plugged the 4 pin connector into any old plug comming off the power supply returned the card to its rightfull place double checked my work and powered the computer up (which was kinda nerve recking) but waala fan was powered up to 100% and i was gamming again with no crashes ive been throwing every game i can at it to see if i can crash it and i cant. the reason i did it this was was 1 the cards fan can allways be put back to normal whenever ati or microsoft whoever feels its time to fix this issue 2. i dont like giant box fans sitting next t my pretty new computer it looks tacky and there obnoxious 3 its just fun for me to do stuff like this well any how this solved my problem try it if you dare otherwise you may be like the nvidia guys sitting around 6 months or whatever waiting on driver support good luck if you attempt this its at your own risk peace:smile:
