You don't need to flash another BIOS.
- Download the latest version of "Softmodded Display Driver" from the downloads page.
- Run it.
- Follow the instructions on screen (ATI Display Drivers Setup should start after extraction).
- If you are prompted about a component that did not pass the Windows Logo Test, continue the installation. Windows just notified you that you are installing a patched file :)
- Finish
- Download and install "Control Panel" if you haven't done so yet.
- If you have an All-In-Wonder card, download and install the "WDM Capture Driver". You may also want to install the latest version of ATI's Multimedia Center.
- Reboot
- Use ATITool to check the number of active pipelines (settings -> overclocking).
OR (if you already have the driver package and just want to download the patched driver file)
- Run the driver installer and update your display drivers. Verify that the (still unmodified) driver works at this point.
- Download the version of "Patched ati2mtag.sys" from the downloads page which matches the driver version you want to install.
- Extract the "Patched ati2mtag.sys" zip file you just downloaded into an existing folder with a name similar to "2KXP_INF\B_xxxx" where the driver installer extracted the files to.
- Delete the "ati2mtag.sy_" file there.
- In Device Manager right-click on "Radeon 9700/9500 SERIES" or "All-In-Wonder 9800 Series"...
- Update Driver...
- Install from a list... (2nd option)
- Don't search. I will choose the driver... (4th option)
- Click "Have Disk" and navigate to the "2KXP_INF" driver directory...
- Select the appropriate driver. If you have duplicate entries- choose any it does not matter.
- Click "Finish", then reboot
- Use ATITool to check the number of active pipelines (settings -> overclocking).
