    I have just fitted and installed the drivers of my new graphics card (ati x1950pro) and it seems to be working okay, but in the instructions manual it says under CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM>HARDWARE>DEVICE MANAGER and under the 'SOUND VIDEO AND GAME CONTROLLERS' tab it should show 'ATI t200 unified AVStream driver' HERE >>

    But it doesnt show this, and it says in the manual if it doesnt show this then the drivers need to be re-installed, Which i have done several times but still had no change.

    i was wondering if this will effect the way the graphic card runs?
    As it will not let me play Cod5 but this graphics card should
    can anybody help please i will highly appreciate it
    thanks.

    What does it list under display adapters? That is where it should really be. Have you installed the latest Catalyst driver from the amd/ati site?

    OK, if that doesn't work what you wanna do is uninstall your drivers again. Then run a registry cleaner. Then install the updated drivers from the website.

    Well other than that if it still doesn't work then you will want to reformat your hard drive. If it still does the same thing then you are probably going to need to replace it.

    Yep, do a full reformat of your hard drive (don't use quick format.)

    It definately could. It would fix any hardware conflicts you have (hopefully) and get rid of any conflicting drivers/registries.
