was w2k added as an upgrade or clean install?

try removing the ati card and removing all the software/drivers/clean out registry. then reinstall the card again and let the wizard detect and prompt for driver location.

yea
it wont work it gives me a (code 10) which mean its not got drivers so i reinstalled the drivers and it still didnt work. The card does work cause it will work by itself. both will work by themselves but they wont work together
