Hi Guys,

I have installed SBS2008 on some basic workstation hardware to save on costs (reliability is not important). Driver support seems OK except for video. Does anyone know of a server 2008 driver that might support ATI HD3200 onboard video. The motherboard is an ASUS M4A78-VM.

Please let me know if this is a pipedream and or if properly functioning video drivers are even important for a basic file server / exchange set up.

Thanks in advance

Matt

You can use the newest Windows 7 drivers. All Windows 7 drivers will work in 2008 Server.

Hi,

I have installed Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition on my desktop (because I can't get my RAID5 to work on Windows 7) and I have an ATI HD 4870 graphic card.

I tried to install the Windows 7 drivers from the AMD website, but it just won't install my graphic drivers. Whatever I try, the full package or only the display driver, it always installs the manager but never the driver. Once the manager is installed, I'm also unable to start it and when I try to start it from C:\Program Files\... it always starts the installation again, the one I'm starting when I try to install the drivers... so I'm in a loop and I can't find any solution to this.

Any ideas ?

Mikey, you need to manually update the video card driver thru device manager. Then when it asks you where the driver files are point it to the folder created by the install package. I think it is called AMD on C drive.

Hi Chappy,

Well since I encountered the same problem in my first installation of 2008, which was a 64bit version R2, and doing what you advised me didn't work, I didn't try it in the standard 32bit version installed now... but this time it worked.

So just for eventual visitors searching for an answer to the same question, C:\AMD doesn't contain the needed driver but C:\ATI does. (both folders are created by the installation)

Thanks again !
