I have an ATI Radeon 9000 pro 128m DDR video card and I have been using this card succesfully for the last 6 months running Windows 98 SE. I purchased XP Pro yesterday and installed. XP is updated now with all the lastest updates that I can find. I have tried repetedly to installed my Radeon card to no avail. I have download new drivers as well as older drivers to try to get it to install. When I do install it, the system reboots, Windows XP Splash screen appears, then disappears (normal boot process), then the desktop tries to load. Only, I never get to see the desktop. The monitor shuts off and with in a few seconds Windows shuts down and reboots. The next thing i get is the option to load Windows in either Safe Mode or Regular mode. If i choose regular mode, I get the same results as before... But i can load safe mode succesfully and remove the drivers for the video card. Then i can load back up in normal mode. As for resolution, it is defaulting to 800 x 600 and i never get a chance to change it because the driver never loads.
I am lucky enough to have a nVidia gefore 2 card handy. It has loaded fine with my system and is working properly. (Just a note, I never installed this card untill AFTER i had no luck installing my radeon. So there is no driver conflicts with nVidia and ATI drivers.)
Can anyone assist me with this issue???
Thanks a million in advance!!!
