Hi,
I have a HIS ATI Radeon 4850 256MB and when I play FFXI the game freezes every 5-60min and there are scrambled pixels on the monitor, sometimes the PC crashes completely.
First I installed the graphics driver from CD, then I uninstalled and installed the newest driver (8-9) from the ATI website - same problem.
I heard the old 5.13 driver is the best for FFXI, but when I tried to install it, I get the error message "Setup was unable to find component that can be installed on your current hardware or software configuration".
I'm not sure if I have made a proper uninstall of the newer graphics driver?
Then I tried to install the Omega Driver, because I've been told they are very compatible, but I also got the error message "Setup was unable to find component that can be installed on your current hardware or software configuration"
Trying to play FFXI without any extra drivers nets the error message "Failed to initialize Direct3D"
edit: I am using WindowsXP Home SP2
BTW I am using Direct X 9.0c all the time
I am pretty clueless now.. what can I do to run FFXI smoothly? please help!
thank you
