I hope you have yourself a recent restore point, go back to it.  I know they tell you to uninstall the drivers... blah blah blah, back in the day that would have been true.  But the magic of todays hardware and drivers puts the past in the past.  The idea behind using the ATi Catalyst Control Center is that you don't need to do that.  I went from the X800XL to the X1600Pro and here's what happened... ATi is configuring your new graphics card, please wait...\n\nEventually it notified me installation was complete and asked me to restart I did and everything was fine.  So with new hardware you don't need to uninstall and reinstall drivers, it just works.  The same is true for nVidia drivers, all you have to do is swap cards and the driver will recognize the new card.\n\nThe reason is that manufacturers now use unified drivers which not only makes development easier, it's cheaper also.  So find yourself a restore point and the old drivers should be reinstated AND should recognize the 9800Pro provided you are using the Catalyst Control Center, if not... that is what you should install, I'd use that first rather than attempting to use the drivers on the CD.\n\nYou do realize that the 9800Pro is old school and doesn't support SM 3.0 or HDR goodies, right?

I have doing these for as long time , it's simple and easy to do. As was stated above don't forget to save all your important files \nThough after reinstalling windows don't forget to update drivers for the components from their manufacturers site and also dont forget about http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx it helps you if you have games running.\nGood Luck

If you had a previous videocard on the system, make sure that ALL of the driver files are removed by using the manufacturers remove program. \nIf there are any traces of the drivers left, they will interfere with the install of the newcard. If this is not the case, I would say remove and reinstall the driver along with directx from microsoft.

go to my computer (right click) > properties > hardware > device manager > sound, video and game controllers\n\nsee if anything is marked with yellow ! or red X .( Note down the name of the entity. ) If yes, double click on it and in the window that opens up try to disable and then enable and see if it helps. If after this the problem repeats itself frequently, you might be having obsolete drivers. Search for the name of the entity you had noted on the internet. Most probably you should be able to download the updated version of the driver free.

by the sounds of it you droped your sound drivers... What you need to do is this first off check to see if the device is working properly to do this you need to click on start then click on control panel then click on system up at the top you will see some tabs.. click on hardware and in the second box you will see device manager. Click on the device manager box and wait for it to load. Then scroll down until you see sound,video and game controler click on that and it will bring up the list of things you have within. If you see any astrick near any of those things such as realteck AC97 audio and it has a astrick you will need to relaod the drivers for the sound. To do this you need the cd that has either come with your computer or if this is not a name brand computer you should have a mainboard cd. When you put this into your computer just reaload the drivers for the audio and everything should be fine from there... hope this helps

If it came with a CD use that if not. Go onto the manufactures website and you should be able to download the driver. Another problem you said is that it won't allow you to install it. The problem might be that your anti-virus software is preventing it to install. In that case disable your anti-virus and the firewall to see if you can install it then. If that doesn't work, then  send me a message and I will look into it further if you like. or wait for some one else to answer. hope this helped. oh one more thing make sure that it securly in. even if it is a little pulled out it might not work.

Under W2K/XP, right click my computer -> manage -> device driver, locate "SOUND, VIDE0 AND GAME CONTROLLERS", find your audio controller (Realtek AC97), right click -> Uninstall, Accept changes, reboot. The OS should automatically ask for drivers the next time you boot. When it does select "search for suitable update" next among the options select Microsoft Windows Update. This is the best way to repair a broken/missing/corrupt driver, permanently.

Ok dude, here's the deal; \n(1.) You can update your video card driver by right clicking on my computer, then click on properties, then on the hardware tab, then on device manager, then click on display adapters, and finally click update driver on the top of the page after higlighting your video card.\n\n(2.) You can buy a new video card and install it. (You could take it to Citcuit City and have them install it for you if you don't know how, also  keep in mind that they are expensive if you wan't to keep up with today's modern games.)\n \nGood Luck---Hope I helped

Go to the device manager by right clicking My Computer and select "Manage", then on the pane on the left in the list find and click on "Device Manager", then in the window on the right look for DVD/CD Drives or somethin like that and click the "+" sign to expand.\n\n  If there is a question mark next to the device (the drive your having trouble with) then that means something is wrong, in any case I would sugest downloading and installing new drivers. You can search for the latest driver for your device on the manufacturers web site of your device, download the right driver and save to the C drive or desktop (just to make it simple), double click your device in the device manager window, then click the "Drivers" tab, then click the "Update Drivers" button, select the "No, not this time" radio button and click "Next". then select the "Install from a list or spacific location(Advanced)"  radio button and click next, then go to where you saved the driver you doenloaded from the manufacturers web site and double click the driver (make sure it unzipped if it came in a .ZIP file), and hopefully that will help.\n\n If that didnt work then it may not be plugged in securley or the Drive is bad and will need to be returned to the store you bought it from. GOOD LUCK!

It is very important with those drivers that you extract them with Winzip (if you have Win98 or 2000) or the extract here after right clicking in XP. If you don't use extract (as opposed to just opening the zip file) it might not work. You then go to device manager to the video adapter and right click then update driver. Then have it install from the location of the extracted files. (if it does not have a setup program in it)

You may have a driver problem......\nI should've asked that same question, a month ago.\nTry going to Add/Remove Hardware in Control Panel.\nLook for your CD Driver, and Remove it from your Computer.\n(Don't worry),. After that, Restart your computer.\nThe computer will regonize a "new" piece of hardware in your system.  The Install Wizard should activate, follow the directions,\nand Restart Computer, just to be safe.  Good Luck

Upgrading drivers, espically on old computers, is a good idea.\n\nJust make sure you keep the old ones also, incase you have issues.\n\nBut most of the time newer drivers make things work better.

after installing the card and restarting the PC you should see the message "new hardware detected", then follow the instructions on the screen. if you're asked for the CD then insert the XP Home disk. Maybe this is even not necessary  if the installer find an appropiate driver in the driver directory.\n\nedit:\ni forgot to mention you must be logged in as administrator
