ASUS V7700TI Deluxe
Pete & Lisa Andress
ASUS A7V133-C Motherboard with an AMD Athlon 1.0 [133FSB])
Anyway - the drivers provided by ASUS for this card (v14.62a) do not appear
to be stable under XP.
I get system lock-ups when doing "normal" tasks such as opening Outlook
Express or when opening Media Player...It is not limited to these two things
though.
When I uninstall the ASUS drivers supplied, XP detects and installs the
NVIDIA GeForce2 DDR drivers. These drivers are stable, but do not allow me
to do any video capture nor do they support 3D.
I purchased this video card so that I could do Video Capture, but I am not
very happy with the current situation (which is either have a stable system
with no capture, or enable capture and have system lock-ups every 10 minutes
or so).
Could anyone please advise if they know of more current drivers for this
card that are stable under XP and support Video Capture. Also if you have
any other suggestions.
Thanks,
Pete Andress

I have the V7700 deluxe card running on a P4 with 512Mb of RDRAM on a
Asus P4T motherboard.
Operating system WinMe. It seems stable and I can do good AVI's and
MPEG's but when I do screen captures of 640x480 or higher resolutions
I get very bad distortions for screen captures where there are all
these thin black lines. It's something to do with the capture mode as
I can freeze the picture using the pause button on my vcd and then do
a screen dump ( a bit messy ) and there are no distortions. I go into
video capture mode and the distortions for screen captures is very
bad.

You maybe better off with WinMe.

A bit useless then.

I wonder, did you install the util that keeps the card nice and cool?
If your over clocking the cpu or video card then set it back to what
the manufacturer says it should be at.
Did you install smartdoctor?

Uninstall the drivers then re install but I suppose you've tried that?
Next thing, unplug the video card and get a eraser (rubber) and rub it
along the base of the card and then plug it back in. Before doing this
first unistall thedrivers and then after you plug the card in re
install the drivers.
The drivers you have are the latest.
Asus usually bring out new drivers every now and then but as they have
bought out a new V8200 card then they don't usually bother bringing
out newer drivers which is very poor.

I think it's only v6 drivers on their web site.
Just did a search for v7700 drivers on this site:
http://download.asus.com.tw/search.asp
only v1.11for video serurity util.
I just had a look at this link
http://download.asus.com.tw/mm_list.asp
Click on VGA
then on nVidia which takes you to a list of
drivers.
Click on
AGP-V7700 Deluxe
right side of links.
And would you believe it no drivers for WinXP and all the other
operating systems the drivers are v6 yet the cd which you got with
your card are v14.
Asus really know how to piss there clients off.
These driver are early 2000 drivers so are over a year old.

Drivers.

Asus used to have the best driver support out of most of the cards
going round. These days they are about the worst for updating their
driver pages.
The only thing you may want to try is this.
ASUS Digital VCR for Win 9x/2000/NT4.0/ME
The above is version 2 where the one on the cd is only v1.
I tried it andthought it was very unstable on WinMe.
You may have better luck with WinXp?
Good luck......

Also try posting inthis news group as others post their problems in
there and as others have Asus products you may get better help.

I completely uninstalled everything from ASUS - then loaded the v 21.81
Nvidia drivers & dl'd a new VIA driver pack (V4.37a), and all appears to be
working fine.
Good & stable & now I can do 3D & Video stuff.
Thanks again !

You'll find it does good avi's and MPEG's.
To save in MPEG as their is no manual on how to do this, use
Ulead Video Studio 4SE. It took me a while to work it out but just
goto new project then set what your going to save it in eg mpeg 1 or 2
pal or ntsc then you can either record or do what I do and use the
Asus record to avi and then open the file in Video Studio and then
click on finish and in the left hand upper side of the screen you'll
see a small reel. This is where you save.
It doesn't take to long to convert avi to mpeg and the quality is
really quite good.
Now try doing screen captures at 640x480 or higher.
When you do the screen captures in 320x200 the pics come out
perfectly. But in the higher screen capture resoltions the quality is
quite dreadful where the pics have all these thin black lines.
When you set it in capture mode the quality for screen capture comes
out with all these thin lines. To get around this don't set it in
screen capture and use your vcr to pause the frame and then use a
program like paint shop pro to do a screen dump. Very messy and time
consuming but at least the picture comes out perfectly.
There is a fault in the video capture driver for screen captures from
what I've seen. See how you go. I'd be interested to see if you get
the same distortions.
