Hi, i recently upgraded to XP...and I can't say that I'm too pleased with it. My motherboard doesn't seem to be compatible with XP, so it doesn't want to shut down on its own. There is no sleep mode for my PC either. Anyways, my Radeon seems to be a tad screwed up now that I have played around with XP.

After right clicking on My Computer, going to properities and setting everything up for performance, my background has become highly aliased. It used to be totally smooth. A sample image is one I took off of a desktop website. It was a 1024x768 wallpaper, but it stretched nicely leaving no aliases before setting my XP up to performance settings. Now that I've tried going back and forth, it's still ugly. My videocard drivers(not the ones off of Windows site, but the new ones from ATI) have been installed over and over...what the heck do I do?

Head over to MaxReboot and check out the latest XP drivers 3281 for XP. This card really doesn't seem to like to install on rigs unless you do a clean install. I'd also suggest you head over to the Rage3D forums. They are all over all the issues with the 8500.
