TICKET ARCHIVE -> RAVE+QD3D card probs

No Wonder User - Aug 1, 1998 - 2:32 pm

Knowledge Level: Expert but stumped

Problem: Combination
Computer Type: ATI
Model: Xclaim VR/4Mb
RAM: 65+
RAM Enhancer: None
OS Version: MacOS 8.1

Description:
Hello, I have a PM 7300/180 with 112 MB RAM. The problem I am having is not crucial to solve but I did spend $450 Canadian dollars(so about $3.50 American. :-)on the video card. The exclaim VR does fine for resolutions and colors. But if I want to use a program or game that uses RAVE or QuickDraw 3D I either crash or freeze in mid launch. I have no "doubler" utilities running and regularily tune up and optimize with Norton. MetaCreations rendering will not see the chip, Quake crashes(even with ATIQuake.fix? patch), Nanosaur(built for ATI cards) freezes in mid-launch. I am running two monitors, both Seanix`s; one 17" diamondtron, one 14" crapola special. Video capture does not work worth a rats a#* either. This has been going on for 5 months now of it being a useless, expensive toy. Any help would be VERY much appreciated. I would really like to render some album covers, and would like to get Unreal running with the card;-)

Thanks again in advance.
