Since installing the 4.6 cats the smartgart AGP settings and Fastwright are
set to off and have no way of changing.

Any ideas

Have you tried "dxdiag". What does it tell you for AGP/Direct3D/DirectDraw
Acceleration?

Thanks for your help guys.

Went to the MSI live update and downloaded the latest drivers for my MB and
it fixed the problem.
One thing I forgot to mention is that I had cleared the cmos earlier and did
not think.
Also lost the disc with the drivers on.

Fast writes off is good, about the AGP.... not sure.
Also try alt.comp.periphs.videocards.ati

I can confirm this. I decided to update my mobo drivers (nforce2) without
installing the ones that related to video (I thought that the 9700 drivers
would do this). However, when I booted the PC my AGP settings were also
inaccesable, reinstalling the whole mobo driver set resolved the problem.
