1. Remove all your drivers for your video cards.\n2. Reboot\n3. Re-install your drivers for the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro.\n4. Reboot\n\nYou may then need to reinstall directX.  And then, reinstall your video card drivers once more.\n\nAlso, installing the factory drivers for your monitor may help too.\n\nGood Luck.

Do not use the the VGA card any more the refresh rate setting is off. So stick with the old VGA I mean lets face it you cant get it to work as a thumb of rule replace what you know is working..

Make sure the power cable and video cable are securely connected.  If that doesn't solve the problem, hook your monitor up to a friend's computer.  Same problem?  Then you have a bad display.  Works ok on a different computer?  Probably a bad video card in your computer.\n\nI'd also suggest using different power and video cables if you have access to others.  You might find that you just have a bad cable.\n\nGood luck

In general, all graphic cards is able to boot up albeit the graphics may not look that pretty. That's when you install the necessary drivers specific to that card to get it working the way it was advertised to you. Just head over to the ATI web site and download the latest catalyst drivers from the site and follow the necessary instructions to install that.\n\nIf you can't boot up at all with the card, then there may be something wrong with the way you installed the card into the motherboard or your card may be damaged in the first place. Try bringing back the card to the shop and ask them to boot up on a test maching using your card to verify that it's working properly.

install the drivers for the graphics card from the motherboard CD. then update your drivers from the manufactures website. for example if your GPU is made by Nvidia go to www.nvidia.com/drivers

That is on the video card. before you update the hardware, have you tried to install the latest drivers? (often times N-vidia will give the capability of better color options in newer drivers. Im sure ATI does the same thing)\n\nif not, find your make and model of your card and go to the manufacturer's website to see if they have the latest driver for your card and OS\n\n(note: you mentioned that you are on win 98. microsoft is set to end support for it in early july.)

download the current driver for your video card. if that doesn't work your monitor or video card might need replacement. Also try to degause your monitor if its not a plasma screen.

The video card you have is an AGP 2X/4X device with pretty good video characteristics.  When and if you get a DVI Card stay at AGP 4X or you might not be able to get the new card to work in your motherboard.\n\n  Your manual may (most likely not) tell you what the requirements are for the video accelerator.  If not consult with the manufacturer.

You may need to reinstall your video card or monitor drivers.  Check your floppies and CD's for them, if you don't have them, then check the manufacturers' websites out.  You can usually find your model information on the rear decal of your monitor and on the video card itself.

could be one of two things:\n\n- software problems: fix this first\ncheck for driver updates for both your video (graphics) card and your monitor. install the updates. if there aren't any updates then reinstall the lastest version of the drivers for both.\n\n- hardware problem\neither the monitor or the video card is busted. whichever one has a prob, it will stop working completely eventually. you're looking at repair or replace as your options here.\n\n\na 3rd, but less likely, culprit is the actual video settings. someone may have changed those by mistake so that the colours looked all messed up.

HOLD ON GUYS!!!\nbefore you start ripping your computer apart, and running out to buy a new video card try the simple things first.\na) are all cables connected correctly and securely.\nb) are all power cables connected. etc.\nc) did you try the reset button\nd) try a different monitor on your computer, and see if your monitor will work on another computer.\nif none of those things work and you are comfortable opening up your computer, then do so and check the connections.

You need a special video card. I found an ATI one for $109 @newegg.com\nClick on the source link for more info about this card

ok, it sounds like the video card might just be bad.  But there are some basic touble shooting step you can take before going to dealer were you bought the card.\n\n1st Make sure you have lasest video drive and the latest version of Directx.   Once your sure of that run the directx test.  New card can past this test and still have things wrong but if it fails one of the test it can tell you what's wrong.\n\n2st If you have the old card that worked, try reinstalling that to confirm there are no other hardware issues.\n\nIf you are still having the problem it's more likely a software problem or believe it or not another piece of hardware is having an issue, like a memory going bad on the mother board, I've seen it happen before.  And it's not uncommon to have issue pop up when other hardware is upgraded.\n\n3nd Make sure everything is plugged in nice and tight.  Again it's not uncommon to loosen a connection somewhere and not even be aware of it.\n\n4rd Reinstall New card, boot to safemode (F8) will computer it turning on but not yet in windows.\n\nMake sure to removed all old video drivers (I find we don't have to do this with XP as often as with win98 but since your having a problem it's best to be sure there is no driver conflict going on.\n\n5th Once done, reboot by turning power off and then on. (don't use reboot switch or windows reboot)  Again xp is more reliable but it can still has problems time to time so a cold boot is best for this.\n\n6th. Once you are booting in, hopefully XP will detect the new card and you can install the drivers.  Once they are installed, reboot again and do a cold boot like before.\n\n7th Back in again and things looking good, go and make sure you have the lastest driver (Might also make sure you have the most current version of the video driver.)\n\nTest driver, run the directx test again.\n\n\nIf you've done all the above and made sure the onboard video it turned off on the mother board, I'd say it's a card problem and you need to talk with dealer.  At least by doing the above you can tell the dealer what you did and why you think it's the card.  especially if old video card is still working.

When does it get blurry, as soon as you turn on the pc and it says windows xp, or when you access the desktop, or when veiwing movies, etc. \n** Are you familiar with accessing your computers bios? If the screen is blurry when your in the bios then the problem is not the OS video drivers**\nWhats the make and model of the monitor? there may me a recall on it. Take that info (make and model) and check on the manufacturers website. If you really don't want to go through all that, and you bought it from a local retail store recently (like within a 1 week time frame), then bring it back there and have them test it. If it works at the store then it might be something wrong with the pc video card.

get an updated driver for your videocard.   Is it a separate videocard or onboard graphics?  Check the bios and see if onboard graphics is disabled so you can use the separate video card

You may need to re-install the drivers for your video card.  It sound like windows installed their default drivers.
