You have to find out the name of your GFX card.. then its website and download the driver.. simple.

on the ATI site the only download in there is catalyst, and i have no idea how to work it

is there a way to just rollback windows version? because thats the error im getting with the gfx card
its not compatible anymore >_>

EDIT: i deleted the graphics adapters but comp looks perfect just a little bit of problems with scrolling down is a bit slow but is this a real problem?

im using like a (Default) Monitor in screen resolution

EDIT AGAIN: ok i deleted all ATI stuff then got that catalyst control + drivers and it works, now i have to see if this monitor problem is permanent (turning off and saying frequency out of range or somethin like that)
thanks to anyone who replied

Now, install the driver from the CD that was included in the box with the graphic card, then download the newest Catalyst driver and everything will work, trust me, I have an ATI on my own.

Edit: Whoops, I am too late, lol.

thats what you need: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeon-prer300-xp.html
make sure you deinstall all other drivers before: Start -> System Control -> Software, find all ATI stuff and de-install them. then install the driver i linked you to
