I'm building a new machine for my dad, and i've installed nr2k3 and the patch. When I run config.exe to set up the renderer, it gives me the following two error messages, and then terminates: 1) Cannot obtain a list of available adapters from the selected renderer. 2) Cannot obtain a list of available display modes from the selected renderer and display adapter. System is: ASRock 939Dual SataII AMD64/3200 MSI X800 PCIe Video card (running Catalyst 5.12) Windows2000 with service pack 4 Anyone have any ideas?
Start the list .. Heh , no ... try removing ,and re-installing newer drivers ..I've just looked and even I am running 6.1 catalyst by now .. so maybe newer drivers will help.. like the PCIe is a new thing so maybe it needs newer drivers.. just a thought ....
