I have an ATI Radion 7000 video card as my second card, and can't seem to
get Vista to recognize it. I checked on the ATI web site and downloaded the
Catalyst Center - but this doesn't appear to have helped. Does anyone
else have this card working with Vista?

Thanks.

It is supported with built in drivers in Vista. It doesn't support Aero
Glass. I haven't tried tried it as a second card. Installing the ATI drivers
may have messed something up. I have used it as a single card with no
problems.
 
Many thanks for your reply.
Well..heck...if it doesn't support Aero....then out it goes!
Actually, since my other one does support Aero, I'm thinking that the
computer would be really confused if it was simultaneously running one Aero
and a non-Aero card.

Also, I use and love UltraMon, which, I don't know if Vista will make that
program obsolete, but they are only getting started on their Vista version.

Best wishes, CB.
 
I replaced it with a Radeon 9550. The computer runs much faster even with
Aero Glass enabled.The 7000 was obviouslya bottle neck.
 
That's what I got too 9550SE from a 9250.
