So a friend of mine bought a 9000 a while ago and when he installed it, it gave issues and required Standard VGA drivers to be installed first, so I tracked them down and installed them. Recently we wiped his system out because of some problems and now we can not get the drivers for the 9000 in at all. Again it asks for Standard VGA drivers first, but I cant get the system to install these so-called-required drivers or the regular 9000 drivers. Is there any chance someone has had this problem before or has heard of someone having this issue. The system is a WinXP Pro system and it just refuses to use the drivers. Thanks

just go to the ATi site and download the latest radeon drivers.

i use the omega drivers for my radeon 9000 www.omegadrivers.net/ work nicely. install without a problem

It dont take the ATI drivers, whenever we try to install their drivers it tells us that it wont install it and then recomends that we try installing Standard VGA drivers first.

i think i had this problem also with a number of laptops i work on they use the IGP family driver, go into device manager and tell me the name of the graphics device.

So I just tried those drivers and they went in fine, but now when the system reboots it hangs at the Windows XP boot screen. Any other thoughts??
