G400 MAX: Direct3D is blank?????

Hey Arne,

make sure your FSB/AGP divider is set to 2/3 and not 1/1.

Hi Arne,

just double-click the apropriate patch and confirm when prompted, then reboot.

Hi Maggi,

how do I force AGP1x via the reg hacks?
I am no pro with those things, I just downloaded the PD5.x reghacks from murc.
Where do I have to position them and what value do I have to set them to?

Thanks in advance!

Btw I just learned from other discussions concerning ABIT motherboards that several of the G400MAX's are supposed to have flaws. Perhaps I DID receive one of those?

Some good news:
I made a large progress yesterday when reinstalling Win98 after formating my HD. This time I only left my G400MAX in the motherboard and installed my SBLive!value later.
Now finally all D3D applications run with bus mastering switched on. I even managed to play Hidden&Dangerous that so far refused to start on my system.

Now the bad news:
the occasional lockups are still there; screen and sound are alive but no input is possible: no keyboard, no mouse; only remedy is to switch off power :-(

Could it be that the G400MAX has a heat problem? I doubt that since the onboard fan works properly. Anyone up with a different idea?
