urgent help needed!!!

:help: I did a fresh install of XP last night for another run of bench tests. I installed AM3 but it crashes at the end of the test with an error message, thickbrit gave me a .dll file to override but after running the test again, i get to see the whole test then again at the end of the test i end up with a black screen instead of seeing a score? This leaves me restarting the machine as alt-contrl-del wont get me back to task manager to shut AM3 down. this happens at stock setting too:(

So does anyone know whats happening???

Also it seems that running a single HDD on IDE will give me a much lower score in 01 than running a raid on sata2 drives, is this right?:coffee:

This is a problem when using the new ATI cards, what you need to do is right click on the Aquamark icon and then goto properties, click on this and then find target, you will see a file in there called direcpll.dll, you need to change the name of this to somthing like pants.dll, when this has been done your bench should run fine.

You sir are a star man indeed!!!:D, changing the direcpll.dll to pants.dll works just fine - i finally get to see a score!!!


For the TEAM!!!!!!!!:coffee:



*EDIT*

Is it best to use a IDE HDD or a raid setup for 3d benches? i seem to get a better score of raid atmo.
