From: William B. Lurie on 11 Mar 2010 07:49 I wonder if anyone can offer an understandable explanation for the error shown by the following event: Event Type: Error Event Source: ati2mtag Event Category: CRT Event ID: 45062 Date: 3/11/2010 Time: 6:50:12 AM User: N/A Computer: COMPAQ-2006 Description: CRT invalid display type Data: 0000: 00 00 00 00 01 00 5a 00 ......Z. 0008: 2c 00 00 00 06 b0 00 c0 ,....�.� 0010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ 0018: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ 0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ No lead that I've followed up to now gives me a clue as to what is invalid about my CRT display type. Of course, the system has been running for a couple of years and nothing has been changed.....but on the other hand, it annoys me to see those red X's when the system doesn't appear to be broken.

Event #45062,Source: ati2mtag , Desc: CRT invalid display type: Here is an old post about this problem. Source:As per ATI: "When a digital panel connected to the graphics card the Windows system log will show the error CRT invalid display type, the source is ati2mtag. This occurs with Catalyst 7.7 and higher. This error will not cause any issues to the system or performance. If you do not want to see the error, the workaround is to install Catalyst 7.6". See the link to "AMD Knowledge Base Topic 737-29385" for more information. Symptoms: Solution: This error will not cause any issues to the system or performance. If you do not want to see the error, the workaround is to install Catalyst 7.6. ATI Engineering has been advised of this issue and is investigating. Any updates will be published when they become available I don't know how to check to see what version of Catalyst you are using or what you need to be using but if you provide more information maybe we can figure it out. You might find out with a little snooping: Right click an open area on your desktop, select Properties, Settings, Advanced and see if there is an options tab or something like that where it might say the Catalyst version. What kind of monitor are you using? Do you see this when you boot, shutdown, watch videos, play a game, just any old time, only once in a while and you don't know why, etc. Please provide additional information about your system: Click Start, Run and in the box enter: msinfo32 Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste the information back here. There will be some personal information (like System Name and User Name), and whatever appears to be private information to you, just delete it from the pasted information. This will minimize back and forth Q&A and eliminate guesswork. For video driver information, expand the Components, click Display, click Edit, Select All, Copy and then paste the information. ..

Okay, I believe this is the requested info: OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600 OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Manufacturer Compaq Presario 061 System Model EX304AA-ABA SR1900NX NA630 System Type X86-based PC Processor x86 Family 15 Model 6 Stepping 4 GenuineIntel ~3200 Mhz BIOS Version/Date Phoenix Technologies, LTD 3.03, 5/19/2006 SMBIOS Version 2.4 Windows Directory C:\windows System Directory C:\windows\system32 Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume11 Locale United States Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)" Time Zone Eastern Standard Time Total Physical Memory 1,536.00 MB Available Physical Memory 809.20 MB Total Virtual Memory 2.00 GB Available Virtual Memory 1.96 GB Page File Space 2.73 GB Page File C:\pagefile.sys The monitor is a standard issue 17" CRT, the usual VGA that comes with desktop HP Presarios.

When I went to seek a reload, some time ago, it referred me to a download of a "Legacy" driver of some sort.

According to ATI the error occurs "When a digital panel connected to the graphics card..." but you say that you have a CRT, go figure... This is what I can find: http://eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=45062&eventno=9333&source=ati2mtag&phase=1 Event ID 45062 Source ati2mtag http://www.betanews.com/profile/nelsonhf John
