HELP! Installed Radeon 2600Pro PCI-E, now computer wont boot!

[JEDI]

mobo: AMD 690G w/onboard video (Radeon 1250)

old video card: Radeon 1550

i dual monitor.

i bought a new 2600Pro. took out the 1550, plugged in the 2600pro.

now screen is frozen at WinXP logo screen when i boot up

yeah, i know, put the 1550 back.

but how do i get it to work with the 2600pro?

Perhaps you should uninstall the drivers first?

why? both are radeon. wont the catalyst drivers handle both 1550 and 2600pro?

No, you ALWAYS clean out your drivers when installing a different card. It doesn't matter if its the same manufacturer or not.

Which version drivers are you using? There is a hotfix for Cat's... 8.3 I believe.

There's always Omega drivers if the Cats don't work.
