Guest Stubby Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Long ago, I removed my TV card and tried to uninstall the ATI software. But everytime my system starts up several errors are put in the event log. They all mention "Counldn't start ATI Wonder ..." . Can anyone point me to a registry script that will clean these messages out? ATI never responded to a message to them. TIA
Guest Dave Patrick Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Re: ATI Wonder -- how to remove Sounds like lingering services and or drivers. For the drivers. Try starting safe mode and remove the hardware from Device Manager To display hidden devices, non-Plug and Play devices, and devices not attached to the computer (commonly known as "ghosted" or "phantom" devices) Save the following two lines as a file then execute. --------------------------setdev.bat--------------------- set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1 start devmgmt.msc --------------------------------------------------------- For the services if you can identify them remove them from the services subkey. HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services (always have on hand registry backups and know how to use them) -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

Guest DL Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Re: ATI Wonder -- how to remove If add/remove hasnt worked, and your are not comfortable with editing the registry, there used to be a vid driver removal tool available, from a vid card user group/forum, but I've a feeling this is now a pay for utility "Stubby" <William.Plummer*NO*SPAM*@alum.mit.edu> wrote in message news:iq6dnfhkWuW6hKXVnZ2dnUVZ_sDinZ2d@comcast.com... > Long ago, I removed my TV card and tried to uninstall the ATI software. > But everytime my system starts up several errors are put in the event log. > They all mention "Counldn't start ATI Wonder ..." .

Guest George Hester Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Re: ATI Wonder -- how to remove Yes I can understand that. You get quite a few drivers from that card and they are set to load almost immediately. What you can do is reboot your machine in Safe Mode but select to Confirm each device to load. You should see that driver load that is causing the error and you can just remove it. It should have ati in the name. -- George Hester _________________________________ "Stubby" <William.Plummer*NO*SPAM*@alum.mit.edu> wrote in message news:iq6dnfhkWuW6hKXVnZ2dnUVZ_sDinZ2d@comcast.com... > Long ago, I removed my TV card and tried to uninstall the ATI software. > But everytime my system starts up several errors are put in the event log. > They all mention "Counldn't start ATI Wonder ..." .
