Need help with F12002 and Cat 3.4

F12002 simply will not work with the 3.4 Control Panel. I simply can't get AA of AF in F12002. It doesn't matter how I set AA and AF in the Display Options. The 3D test always comes out the same, and F12002 looks awful. This doesn't happen with the 3.2 Control Panel. Does this happen to anyone else, or does anyone else have an idea of what might be going on? Thanks, Alan

I have to reboot my computer for any change in AA/AF settings to take effect. Have you tried that?

No problems here. When you say that the "3d test always comes out the same", are you referring to the benchmark test of EA's setup utility? I don't use the ATI control panel to set AA, I leave it at 'application preference' and turn it on via the EA setup utility.

It turned out to be a combination of that and the ATI CP not updating the registry properly. There are two entries in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video for the 9700 Pro. The one being updated (presumably for the second monitor) wasn't the one that mattered. The one that does matter didn't even have the AA/AF entries! So, I have to alter them manually, and I need to reboot afterward. Seems to be a bug that apparently only I suffer from.

I find that when I enable AA in the setup utility it doesn't look anywhere near as good as enabling it in the ATI CP. Don't know why that would be though. Plus, EA's utility doesn't allow you to enable AF. I managed to get it all sussed out though.
