Error mesage question

[jmac2879]

i updated my Radeon x200 integrated graphics driver from the ATI site with no problems, however when i turn the computer on and windows boots up i get the ! icon and "Unable to load resources". I have nt had any problems but im going to put a video card pci e into the computer this week and need to update drivers from the same site.
What does this error message mean and how to i treat the problem. Will it affect my new installation.

Thanks anyone, Jmac

It's possible your security software is blocking something.
You could have have a corrupt file.
You downloaded and installed the wrong ATI MMC .
You installed the new drivers without removing the old ones?
Did you check for any known issues with the drivers in their release notes ?

You will need a new set of drivers for your new card.

Thanks for the pointers. I think the driver is correct because of the proccess i went through on the ati website. I did remove the old drivers fully and any ati program.

i didnt check the issues,, it could be a corrupt file, and i dont know how to correct the security blocking something.

I have taken the driver off and re installed a few times - to no avail.
Do you think it will correct itself when i uninstall the integrated video card and driver and install the new radeon pci e and driver?
thanks again

The simplest way is to go off-line and disable the security software before you do the driver uninstall>restart and disable it again and install new driver>restart.

Yes it's very likely that the steps for installing the pci-e video card will correct this.

Thats a big help. ill do that when installing the new video card. thanks, jmac

I disabled security and installed driver and card, still gett the same message after windows has booted up. The card is much better, however ,other observations are: when i initially updated integrated driver from the website and from when i began to get the above "resources" problem, i think the brightness has darkened. This applies to new card as well. Also game sometimes slows when i intially start (within 2minutes) and my CA security starts flashing "through" the game in the lower right hand side and i have to close it. Then game works fine (if a little darker than previo0usly)
Shed any light anyone? - sorry about that one, j

Are you willing to do a rebuild, or registry editing with luck ?
Are there any chipset updates you haven't done?
It's possible you've got a Java problem but you haven't told us what else you've updated/done.

[jmac2879]

I havent updated anyting apart from the driver for the integrated card. i had to download new firmware 2.0. I didnt know what is was but it is on the system now. Thats eveyting up to the error message. sorry im not sure about chipsets or registry editing i have nt changed anyting from new anyway All i did was take driver off, update firmware and put new driver on from website

For the time being, since everything is working, ignore the error message and we'll hunt it down.

ok, thanks for looking. Ive tried a few things re installing new card and driver and disabling all security again. Basically back tracking but nothing works.
i think the games are darker than previously though otherwise i would nt be concerned at all.
thanks again jmac
