Thought this was the best place for this. See the sig but basically it appears to be an 8500 & 3286 issue.
I was running the 3286 drivers for win2000 up 'till yesterday with no probs. Then suddenly I get an 'unable to initialise 3d device' from 3dMark. Fine, I uninstall 3dMark, reinstall. Same. Uninstall Radeon drivers, reinstall. Same.
This doesn't just apply to 3dMark, everything was either not starting or just borking.
By this point I'm going 'rebuild' (hence what I was doing last night).
Now, all clean & reinstalled. 3286 drivers still cause me the exact same problems. 8500 CD drivers are perfect, no probs. Not the greatest but they work!. And I have downloaded a new copy of the 3286s in case the original was corrupt.
Now, has anyone else had this, or know what is going on?. I'm stumped as I haven't changed anything in my config........
