Best fix to XP is to install 2000... XP is Windows for Dummies (well isn't
every version?)

I've tried going through ATI's tech support but not really finding
anything there. I haven't tried MSN yet, but that's my next

The card came with the PC when I got it from the guy who bought my M3.
He's actually a tech there and this card could be a beta (could explain
why the device manager cannot ID it.)<br><br>
Another kick in the stomach is that he also gave me an AIW 32MB card but
I just noticed that it doesn't have the normal 16-pin interface port that
older cards have so I can't test it with that one...<br><br>
I'm running a Sony VAIO 1.3GHz P4 with 256MB RAM so there shouldn't be
any problems there.<br><br>
Any help would be greatly appreciated!<br><br>
Thanks, Jeff<br><br>
