Driving me nuts. If I don't install video drivers the XP Pro system is stable, drivers installed and it hangs.

That happened to me with my 9600 pro. Finally had to install by using the "have disk" browse to inf file method. After you run the setup.exe the files are unpacked, and you can browse to them for a manual install.

Have you tried that?

Are you using the latest Catalyst drivers? These installed fine for me, whereas the previous verstion required the "manual" method.

Is this a new 9800 Pro install , did you`ve another card in your PC? Anyway try Driver Cleaner 2 ,I would also run the driver cab and SP1 cab cleaner in safe mode before running the main Driver Cleaner part(both are in tools menu part of Driver Cleaner).
