    After a recent hard drive format i've been installing everything again. Everything is all godd, but pages scroll slowly and sometimes the screen flickers. I then check my device manager and discovered my graphics card wasn't installed properly... and to top it off i don't think i have the driver disc to help reinstall it again.

    So i need help installing the Card, i've taken it out and found the the product might be caled: ATi Rage Theater. It has a wierd output (not VGA) and a Tv out aswell.

    Is there a way of installing it? if you need more infomation, just shout.

    That's the ATi Rage Theater chip, and it's just for decoding DVD's and providing a media experience. There's likely another chip covered by a heatsink or fan, that's the chip we're intrested in. You might be able to pop it off if it's restrained by a couple of pins, but if it's glued on, I wouldn't try removing it just yet.

    It may also very well say what card or chip is powering the card along one of the edges.
