/mad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':angry:\' /> i installed this new card in win 98. it worked perfectly. i then upgraded to xp pro and had to install the xp drivers. i put in the disk and clicked on xp and when my drivers finished, my screen went to standby mode. it just shut off like i powered my pc down. i have to restart in safe mode and uninstall the ati display adapters. i check in display properties and i have a default monitor on ( and thats all it says). it doesnt mention any display adapters even though i have great screen quality. i cant even mess with my monitor properties. i am running a nvidia gforce2 ti 64ddr card now and it works great. i am also running a tyan S2095 Trinity i845ddr motherboard, p4 2.0, 512 ddr it that helps. please help me to resolve this issue. i have all my windows updates and direct x 9.0. i have contacted ati and they suck. they dont know any more than i do. my monitor refresh rate was stuck on 60hz because it didnt show a plug and play monitor installed.

Are you using the current driver? If not go to http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/winxp/r....x=9&submit.y=7 (http://\"http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/winxp/radeonwdm-xp.html?type=xp&prodType=graphic&prod=productsXPdriver&submit.x=9&submit.y=7\") and download it.

First if all I and Microsoft highly recommend you do a clean install of XP not an upgrade (they told me personally). Looks like XP doesn't have the drivers for your monitor so maybe you should try to get those from the makers site. My 9000Pro works fine in XP with 3.0 drivers. Never upgrade O/S always backup personal data and clean install.

i am told i have to first install a standard video display adapter. my copy of xp pro only has ati display drivers. it has no standard display adapters or any other drivers for displays but the ati. ive never seen this before. also, i have my card in now and my screen looks great. i looked to see what adapter was installed and it just says default monitor on. it says nothing after the word on. in advance tab in settings, it says i have something called VgaSave for my adapter. thanks alot.

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same problem installing a Radeon 9600XT onto a new computer for my brother. I'm using a Hercules ProphetView 920Pro DVI, and the driver installation seems to mess us the system: I think it's trying to set the refresh rate too high for the screen (though I'm not sure that this is possible with an LCD --- however, this is the error reported by a trusty old Mitsubishi 15" CRT). I'm going to try my old GeForce2 MX tomorrow to see if this allows me to install the drivers for the DVI screen, then revert back to the ATI with the LCD's drivers installed. Not very hopeful, though, so any suggestions greatly appreciated
