Hello there,

You can try to download the updated driver from ATI's website. Make sure that you are downloading the correct version for your operating system.

Depending on who makes your video card, there will be options in the video settings to enable the second monitor.

Since you have windows XP, this is an article that should greatly help: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307873

Hi,
Boot the system in safe mode. Go to device manager and under display adapters , right click on the onbaord graphics adapter and disable the same. It worked on one of the systems i troubleshot for the same problem.

Thanks for using Fixya

- does it work properly when u disable the online game feature (play the same game without just on your PC or in LAN-session)
-goto network connections and disable every connection available besides the one u use for internet access
(as u can wire up video cameras
to the card via the 1394/port, this port may have been recognized as network adaptor in windows, this might cause IRQ problems and as u do not use it, it is wise to disable it)

retry now the online game / if stil the prob, came back to fixya!

good luck

This is not really my area of expertise. I think you would be better off asking Ekse. He would be able to guide you better in this regard.

Cheers!

As far as I am aware, you can not run an ATI card in the same system as an Nvidia card due to driver conflicts.

Try this.

Download the unified Radeon drivers from ATI's website... do not use Windows update. Get the Drivers Only package. for Vista 32-bit

If you can get to the desktop:
Uninstall the existing display drivers by using the remove hardware utility. Whatever they are... remove them. Reboot. Windows will try to reinstall the drivers on the next boot. If it allows you cancel the installation at any time during install do it. Run the downloaded package from ATI. Reboot.

If you can't get to the desktop:
Press F8 when booting and enter safe mode with networking. Download the ATI drivers from ati.com for Vista 32-bit.
Uninstall the display drivers. Reboot. Should take you to the desktop on the next boot so you can run the install program.

I have this same problem. Try to disable the service ATI Hotkey Poller in the windows (you can use the msconfig). It seems to be all right for me now.

Good luck !
