ATI/Intel Problem

[SocrPlyr]

The problem is with my Radeon 9000 (powered by, yuck) and the intel chipset drivers. If i have the chipset drivers installed and i install the video card the boot hangs right when windows is initializing the video card. If i have just the video card drivers or just the chipset drivers installed everything works fine...
the reason i want to install the chipset drivers is b/c otherwise an SM Bus Controller and two other unknown devices won't get recognized, or drivers from windows, but i have the video card problem when they are installed cuz there are no windows drivers for it...
my Rig info is in my sig, Josh's Rig...
by the way i have tried every ati driver i could get my hands on... including the latest beta build...
basically i am asking if there is some type of setting that might be causing this problem...
thanks
Josh

Are you installing the application accelerators?

Reinstall DirectX8.1b from Microsoft's website.

no the IAA works fine... there is a chipset driver install utility on intel's website that fixes the SM Bus Controller as well as the other two "Uknown Devices" that winXP has a prob w/...
i'm working on the directX install now...

thanks

you can't reinstall directx for xp cuz there isn't a specific thing to download... it is a part of "other" updates... (this isn' the prob anyways cuz i redid the whole rig like 2 or 3 times b/c of this problem and the same thing occurred everytime...)
any other ideas?
thanks guys,
Josh

THe IAA gave me nothing but grief on my I850E board. After I removed it all was well.

i got it to work... i had to roll back the agp driver to the previous version... i dont' know what the problem is but the ati drivers don't like the latest intel agp driver from the INFs on their website... wow i am sooo happy... let's just hope it stays work... thank you all for your help...
