well finally someone has shared a VITAL information for my pc headaches..I'm running painfully a XPPro 64 bits for around 4 years and all problems has ocurred since day one..as myself did the building of that system/machine I always too it hard ob me ..on my total ignorance os such small terrible issue with drivers etc...noit the less...I use to format my system about twice a year - when was 32 bits every 3 months - now it's so painfull to do it with 64 bits that I shrink the 'plastic- refreshment' for twice a year only.
Last week my site was hacked, and same time I was formating my pc. Since today almost 4 days after the format I had not yeat decide which ATI RADEON X1600Pro driver I 'll use in it...I have installed about 3 different ones and unisrtalled. Trying Poser that is seated in an external 500GB drive and all it's gang - several times with the most odd behaviors ....so also unistalled Poser 7 about 3 times nothing changed.
So I realized I had instlled the driver for Video enhanced that is part of the Motherboard gang. So I unistall such driver and Poser works peerfect! Perfect without using driver for Video enhanced and witouth Ati Driver! No..no ..no...not possible I have to have at least thr Ati driver.
So I install again Ati driver from Ati site direct - version 7.12 but in my pc when checking the version is 8 !!!! Never mind! Site's error when writing the text in it..I presume...
Now, yes Poser is working. but....but the driver witouth the Video enhancement does not look good. My Ati is 512MB so it's quite 'ok' the resolution when you look at the display but when you look again..the desktop picture is kind of 'moiré' look..that's not aceptable. So I wonder I do need to install the Enhanced Display Driver Helper Service. (look at thr anme..do I really need this?)
I wonder what is that is making the Ati's driver look so bad? obviuosly it could not be the 'Enhanced Display Driver Helper Service' because it sounds more like a 'how to' stuff than a 'do' stuff....
 anyone of you guys, obviuosly feeling same pain as I when managing the drivers for you 64 bits system..could give me a 'light' here?
I also did pay for that ridicouslly site: http://login.esupport.com/join_today.php?PHPSESSID=dr1jcchhs79s1jajaspojmj5f0
but so far it did mess with me....drivers it find for you are so many that is better you choose by yourself via normal googling... 'cause what he sugests are the ones I had here too even same from 2005!!!! so it's trowing 30 USD away...
well...gladly awaiting for a supportive advise or even better the right solution for my sick system...
