Hi
I CAN get my system to install the drivers from the CD - BUT how do I get
access to the Catalyst Control Panel.
Every time I try to install the program I downloaded from the ATI site, the
screen goes black and I have to do a hard boot.
Also - it seems I have 2 graphics card, ATI X1950PRO + ATI X1950PRO
Secondary.
I only have 1 monitor and my system uses that one alright.

ATI Radeon X1950Pro
2GB RAM (2 x dual channel)
ASUS P4P800-E deluxe

Edit:
It also happens when I try Update my Index Score... it begins alright...
Then the screen just goes black, but I can hear the fan on the card spinning
away..
 
From my experience, you will need to download the drivers from the ATI
website for your video card. Before you install them, get into your registry
and delete manually any folders/keys that say ATI. Delete any folders as
well. First you would need to uninstall ATI from pc, then delete the left
over registry keys and folders. Reboot, then install the drivers you
downloaded from ATI. Don't use the drivers from the disk that came with it.
 
You have a seconday 1950 because your OS reads both outputs from your video
card as seperate entities soto speak. Also The 1950 wasn't supported by
vista last time I checked...But that was a while ago.
