No icons on video card but wallpaper PLEASE HELP!

[realplayz]

Hi,
I got a Radeon 9200 for my Dell Dimension 2350. I installed and installed the drivers and it took my about a day to get an imageon the 9200. I disabled the integrated card and enabled the 9200. When i connect the monitor to the 9200 i only get the wallpapper in the middle of the screen but no icons or anything. There is the mouse. When I connect the monitor to the onboard video the icons are huge and very rough looking and i have a wallpaper. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP?! THANKS

go to task manager and make sure explorer.exe is running and if it isnt then start it

if that doesnt work then your OS is messed up... try to reinstall XP

What's that?

Anyways, did you check to make sure you didn't uncheck "Show desktop icons" (Right-click desktop --> Arrange Icons by --> Show Desktop Icons).

What integrated card do you have?

Did you uninstall the integrated video device from the device manager before installing the new card?

I have a Intel integrated card. Also here are the steps i took of installing this.
1 - Put the new card in
2 - Start computer and install drivers
3 - Disable the Intel from Device Manager
4 - Enable the Radeon
5 - Connect the monitor to the Radeon
Nothing comes up

You currenlty have both monitors enabled, its treating this new card as a secondary disply, right click goto properities and disable to ther video card, both in device manager, and if its integrated, do it in the bios aswell. if there is still a problem right click goto propereities then settings (where you change the resolution) then make the second monitor primary.

hey
thanks for your response. This might be a stupid question but when you say "do it in the bios aswell" what does that mean? How do I do it? Thanks
