Hi,

I have installed every version of catalyst driver i could find, on my WinXP
for the ATI Radeon 9550, until catalyst 4.8, each time there's a problem
during extraction of the files (but they re correct, because each time
tested on another computer) - i was told it was a bug due to very big disks
i ve a 150 Go -.
Any way when rebooting , either it's crashing, either it's working for while
then black screen.
My AGP port is ok because my old card is still working.when i reinstall it
I'ts definitely not working, but the hardware seems fine because also tested
on a brand new PC.
Do you know about problems for this Vid Card ?
Heeeeelllpppp Meee !! Thanks

one possibility is your old card runs at 4x agp and the 9550 supports 8x agp
but your mobo isnt stable at 8x - some arent. try dropping the agp speed in
bios
and see if it runs better.
