I recently bought a Kyro 3D Prophet 4000XT to replace my failing ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon, now everytime I go to start a game like Wolfenstein, or Metal of Honor, the screen goes gray? I still hear sound but no picture. Also, it's an AGP card but the system is calling it PCI Bus 1 and giving it IRQ 11, my ATI usually gets IRQ 5? It the card conflicting with something. It is sharing IRQ 11 but everything works fine until I go to start a game. Please Help!!

it maybe left over driver remnants

did you revert back to a standard pci/agp video adapter first or even better do a clean install?

a lot of times replacing video cards installs the drivers but doesn't remove all the old drivers and that causes a conflict

hope this helps

Did you completely remove all traces of ATi's drivers before you swapped the cards?

I uninstalled all ATI related stuff. I have to go through and check to see if any remain. Thanks
