It does NOT meet the minimum requirements. You need to get a dedicated video card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 OK in stages Turn off the onboard graphics from the BIOS screen (if your BIOS will allow you - some are automatic, some aren't) Did you install the latest drivers from the card makers? Usually when you buy a new video card, it could have been wandering round between the factory and the shop counter for a while and the drivers are never really up to date. Uninstall the drivers that came with it (basically, roll back to that horrible looking 16 colour setting) and then install the new ones that you downloaded. Then, update DirectX from MS to the latest version (9.0c, Dec release) Let us know what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
via/s3g UniChrome IGP Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Excellent advice. The Diamond Stealth S85 with Radeon 9250 128 MB DDR is working and so it VideoWave. The drivers that came with the card would not load. However the downloaded driver seems to be functioning perfectly. Anyone else with this problem might want to try this. The PNY card seems to have gone south - doesn't output any signal at all. Thanks bunches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I have a SS300/305 Video Card and get the message - Video Diagnosis Failed. What do I need for VideoWave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 S3 chipsets are always onboard - presuming it isn't a laptop you need a good dedicated graphics card If it's a laptop with S3, I'm afraid you're stuck (my laptop is the same and I kinow it won't work on that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
