Imac with radeon x 1600 graphics card will not send signal to projector

I am using an Imac running Boot Camp. The Imac has a Radeon X 1600 graphics card. I have installed the latest driver in XP. The Device manager recognizes the correct card.
The problem: I cannot get our projector to pick up the signal from the Imac. I have systematically gone through all the display settings. Others who have similar problems seem to have graphics cards with additional software that allows them to select a clone display feature.
Any thoughts? The projector works fine with a macbook running bootcamp (xp).

Hi Cathy and welcome to Discussions,
sounds to me as if you are missing the Catalyst Control Center, which usually provides these kinds of setting.
You can download both Drivers and the Control Center from the ATI/AMD website here: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/mac/bootcamp-xp.html
The Control Center needs a Windows where the .NET Framework (2.0 at least) is already installed before installing the Control Center, otherwise it does not work.
You can download that from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd -aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en
Hope it helps.
Good Luck
Stefan

    I have a late 2009 iMac, with the default Nvidia 9400 Graphics card.
    I was wondering what my options are for upgrading.  I use Windows 7 via Bootcamp, so I need a card that is compatible/has available drivers.
    This is for gaming. On the lowest settings of "Call of Duty 4", I get about 100 FPS... Was hoping to be able to play on higher resolution w/o the fps lag.
    I'm not good with the hardware part of computers at all, but know how to get around the OS.

    In most cases the graphics cards in iMacs are Not upgradeable.  They are usually soldered to the logic board.  RAM is considered, along with harddrives, the only component that is upgradeable in an iMac, unlike in PC's.  So basically you would need to sell your unit and purchase an iMac with a more powerful graphics card.
    Hope this helps

  • Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work in a Mac Pro as a second card

    Should I try this?  I don't see any reason why not but would like to make sure
    Thanks

    Should I try this?
    No.
    It won't work.
    Any reason a G5 Graphic card will NOT work
    As explained, the G5 uses Open Firmware and the Mac Pro uses EFI.
    The ROM of the graphics card is completely different for each of the two machines.
    The cards are not interchangeable.

  • With OS 7 My iPhone 4s will not send texts, how do I fix it?

    Since upgrading to OS7 my iPhone will not send texts to friend with iPhones how do I fix this? I have turned on SMS and restarted the phone.

    This has been discussed time and again here on the forums.  Please use the search function before posting.
    A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.
    iOS7.0.3 will be available next week that resolves this issue.

  • I purchased a new iMac with latest iLife suite, however, IMovie will not read my videos.  I deleted a 3iVX file that was not working but nothing happens now. Help

    I just purchased a new iMac with the latest iLife suite. As part of the migration process in setting up the new machine the 3Ivx video codec was brought onto the new machine as well as my old movies.  When I tried opening the movies iMovie crashed and told me it had a problem with the 3IVX video codec, in doing some research I found that the 3IVX video codec created a problem so I deleted it and downloaded Perian 123.  The Perian 123 works well with Quicktime but iMove does not now see my old movies.  At this point I cannot open any of my movies.  Can anyone help?  Thanks

    There also might be a more updated, compatible 3ivx codec you can install, or just try re-installing a newly downloaded version of of the same old codec: http://www.3ivx.com/download/macos.html
    Otherwise download and install MPEG Streamclip: http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    In iMovie hold down CTRL and click on the clips that don't open. Choose Reveal in Finder. Convert those files by dragging them into the window of converter program, and save as Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC). That format is native to iMovie and will work perfectly.

  • TS3402 iMac with OS X 10.8.4 will not stay in sleep mode.

    After installing latest OS updates, 10.8.4,  we cannot get our iMac to stay in sleep mode.  Energy saving settings have computer sleep and display sleep set to15 minutes, put hard disks to sleep when possible and allow power button to put to sleep are selected.  Wake for network is not selected.  Also allow bluetooth devices to wake computer is not selected. We are using Time Machine using a USB connected seagate disk, USB connected keyboard and bluetooth mouse.  Sleep mode worked before applying latest OS update to 10.8.4 level, which was the only recent change. Now, if put to sleep, monitor goes black for a few seconds then back on.  Appears that something that I haven't identified wakes it up.

    The solution was found in another post.  The suggestion made by marks33 says: 
    My computer would not stay in sleep mode either since update Mac OS 10.8.4 and I tried resetting the SMC.
    Resetting SMC:
    Shut down the computer
    Unplug the power cord and ALL peripherals (mouse, keyboard + ethernet cable also)
    Wait 20 seconds
    Attach power cable and wait another 10 seconds
    Press power button
    Attach all other cables after desktop appears.
    Try it if you haven't already. It cured the sleep issue on my iMac.

  • New! MSI K9N6PGM2-V2 MOBO/Will not send signal to monitor/

    Hi there, I've tried  few topics already on the forum but none were unique to my problem. Let's see if I can make this as clear as possible.
    I bought this MOBO in order to run a computer that was given to me. Here are the Specs:
    AMD Athlon x2
    400W PSU
    Nvidia 9800GT
    250GB Seagate HDD
    Every time I start the computer the fans turn on and even the CD Drive Operates, however my monitor has gotten "No Signal" every time. This is a standard VGA going straight into the motherboard. Tried 2 different monitors with the same result. Even tried without the video card in, no signal.
    Now, I have another monitor with me that supports DVI. So now I have tried DVI from the monitor to the GPU, still, no signal.
    NOTE* Before you say that BIOS won't run because of the PSU, this computer ran with a better MOBO and only a 280W PSU for about a year before it conked out.
    I suspect that I have installed the MOBO wrong, but I'm interested in what the community has to say.

    Let's try this again.
    Here is my PSU
    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4974033&CatId=1078
    Max AMPS: 20A
    The power connector is in.
    CPU
    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1315482&CatId=4919
    RAM is KingstonKVR 2GB
    I will try running it outside of the case with only one RAM card. I still find the CPU dosent have enough power theory odd only because it utilized only a 280W power supply in the past. Only the MOBO and PSU are new.

  • How to set up 2 iMacs, one with a non-functioning graphics card.

    Looking for suggestions.
    I have a 2009 27" iMac that has a broken graphics card. At least that's what I think is wrong with it cause when I turn it on I see white screens with vertical pink bars from top to bottom. I bought a new iMac 5K and I wanted to see if I could connect the old iMac as a second screen. Would that still need a functioning graphics card for the old or will the new iMac which will be the main computer be able to run both screens with it's own graphics card. I don't have a mini Display port cable yet as I wanted to see what people think first before I go get one. The old iMac has no thunderbolt port and has a mini display port, Ethernet and Firewire only. I'd appreciate any input on this learning process.

    Hello vman1027,
    As long as the 27" iMac is a Late 2009 model, you should be able to utilize its display as a Target Display for your 5k iMac.

    I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin.  However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

  • Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, Photoshop CC won't read the card drivers and says I need to reinstall them and disabled 3D funtions as a result. Anyone else with this issue?

       Radeon HD 5770 graphics card works perfectly with my MAC Pro 1,1 and Adobe CS6. However, I upgraded to Adobe CC and Photoshop CC disabled some filters and 3D functionality. The preference panel for Performance/Graphics Card in Photoshop CC is greyed out and inaccessible and shows this message -
    "Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry."
       I still have Photoshop CS6 installed and it still works perfectly. Anyone else with this issue? Is there a driver update for this compatable with my setup?

    after going round with this Adobe was able to find the fix....opened the "show content" folder for the application Photoshop CC (control click on the application folder) and navigate to the sniffer file and rename it by putting a tilda ~ in front of the name..." ~sniffer ", close and open PhotoshopCC...and voila, problem solved... Thankyou Adobe support

  • [p7-1240] How can I tell which graphics cards will work with my motherboard?

    I recently went through the nightmare of trying to install a Gigabyte GTX 650 in my PC. After a few days of struggling and scouring the internet for answers, I discovered that it is incompatible with the BIOS on my motherboard, and HP does not offer BIOS updates. I returned the card and am now looking for a new one, but I am unsure of which cards will work now, since my computer met all of the system requirements for the graphics card, and It stil ldid not work. Since GPU manufacturers do not list BIOS specs under system requirements, how can I tell if a graphics card will work with my sytem?
    My computer is a p7-1240 with an upgraded 520W PSU and approximeately 11" of room to install the card.
    This question was solved.

    Thexn, welcome to the forum.
    The problem is, many of the newer video cards require the computer to have a full UEFI BIOS.  HP began using one in mid-October, 2012.  Before this date the BIOS is Legacy.  This is why the video card didn't work with your computer.
    I don't know what you want to spend for a card, but MSI makes a GTX 750ti that has a hybrid VBIOS.  It has a switch to change to Legacy or UEFI.  There is a video link directly below the picture of a card.  Paul from Newegg gives a full description of the card.
    I like EVGA cards the best.  Their Tech Support has given me a lot of information about their cards.  However, you have to go back to a GT 640 card to find one of their cards that doesn't require the UEFI BIOS.  They do have some updates for their BIOS'es that solve the problem, but you have to call them for the exact cards.

  • How do i make amd radeon my primary graphic card instead of the intel hd graphics ?

    i am new to using macs and was wonding how to make the pci-e amd radeon my primary graphic card as it is better than the onboard card that i am currently using.
    the amd card is already inside the laptop but i dont know how to make it my primary graphics card

    System Preferences > Energy Saver
    checkbox Automatic graphics switching.
    With this box unchecked it will always use your dedicated graphics card. With it checked it will only turn on when needed. This will save a lot of battery life, as it will only use it when needed. For example while playing a video game and not while watching a movie.
