Boom New Card-New Problems

Got a Radeon 7500 video card and running with Windows XP, normal operations seem to run fine but when I try to run Giants Citizen Kabuto the system locks up during the game load up and I have to restart the system. The Radeon is running with the latest drivers from ATI for XP and the game was part of the software bundle that came with the Audigy Gamer sound card. Has anyone out there have had the same problem with this configuration and is there a solution? Running a Intel 800 PIII with 256mb of Ram. Thanks and Merry Christmas everyone!!

One thing I have seen using ATI video cards, and I do like them, is that during the driver install, if you get a window stating the file you are trying to overwrite is newer, do you want to keep this file? Answer "No" and use the file that came with the disk. The other thing is, when using the Windows Update site, if it detects any new file available for an ATI card, Do Not DownLoad It.
