Are both your both your motherboard chipset drivers and video drivers properly installed? HTH

As far as i can tell?The device manager seems like it has all drivers.I even went to my hardweares site and down loaded updated drivers

Go ahead and uninstall them (drivers) and remove the key again. Then remove all your other cards except video, install the drivers again (for video card, chipset), and then add the cards back in one at a time and install their respective drivers, to see if that helps.

P.S. You are using a pretty new motherbard and fairly old videocard, there could (although I hope not) be compatiblity issues with the chipset and that videocard.

Well,this card is really not that old.Its agp 2.0 compliant and 4x/2x bus.I guess i could write to tech support.If any one has any ideas please let me know.I might try removing everything again,yuck that bites.I even tried a older card for kicks,VELOCITY 4400.Same thing happened.Oooh,the light just came on,hello!You might be on to something,the RAGE FURY PRO IS OVER A YEAR OLD.I guess they aren't like stereo equipment were everything is compatable.Oh gezzzzz there goes another couple hundred.

I guess it could maybe just be a driver issue, I'd contact Iwill and ATI first and ask if there are any known bugs and/or fixes before you buy a new videocard.

Well it looks like we have a compatability issue.My vid card wont allow display setting to change when MS NETMEETING IS INSTALLED,I TRIED REMOVING NET MEETING but i dont think it removed totally. WHAT NOW?How can i totally remove it?

Add/remove programs, Windows Setup, communication, uncheck netmeeting and reboot.
