Hi all

When i try to OC my Sapphire HD 2900 XT card with ATI tool, the following error appears: The kernel Mode driver does not seem to be running.
A device driver is required for communicating with your video hardware

ATI tool doesnt detect my clock speeds. What is the problem and what can i do to solve it?
Im running Windows vista 64 bit and i have updated my display driver to the newest one.

Thank you in advance

Jakob

Go to start menu, then control panel, then User Accounts and Family Safety and click on Set up parental controls for any user, then click on user accounts in the bottom left hand corner, then click on the statement "turn user account control on or off", then turn off.

It didnt help taking that off. It still gives me that error. It is not a Windows error but an ATI tool error. Im Using ATI tool 0,27 B2

When you go to run the program right click and select run as administrator, that will work

If you are the administrator of windows you should not have to select run as administrator

Also I see that you are running 64 bit edition which is a little querky for overclocking but it will work

It still doesnt work. It gives me the very same error. Anyone know what a Kernel Mode Driver is? Because this seems to be the problem

you need to disable the driver signing enforcing policy of vista 64 ..

i got a code signing certificate now so this problem will be fixed in next release (no eta)
