Ok, I learned my lesson. I wanted to try an 8500 out, and I did. It was actually not a bad card, but I did have some driver issues (imagine that).

I am now having a difficult time getting my new Gainward Geforce 4 Ti 4400 installed properly. I delete everything I can thing of and follow the uninstall proceedure that I found on Rage3D, put the new GF4 in, boot it up, and all I get is a bunck of garbage! I move my mouse and it rips the screen apart.

I tried booting into safe mode and installing the drivers. They installed, but when I booted up, the system works for about 10 seconds and then freezes on me.

I really do not want to reformat and start over, so PLEASE! Someone help me if you can. I have learned my lesson! I promise! I will never do ATI again.

My system:
Gigabyte 7vrxp
Athlon XP 1800
512mb crucial ddr
Win XP pro
SBlaster Audigy Platinum
Hopefully a gforce 4

sounds like a bad card.....exchange it for another.....

Check out the forums at http://www.rage3d.com

They're kinda ATI fanatics so you might wanna avoid saying you switched to an nVidia card if you wanna avoid being flamed

You should easily be able to find a utility somewhere in the forums that will let you completely uninstall your ATI drivers. Good luck

hehe. switched from R8500 to Ti4600. gonna change to R8500 again. this card sux. first and last nvidia shit for me.

hehe maybe you need to reinstall the whole winxp thingy! ati rules but ati drivers suck! :wink:

Have u tried clearing NV-rom in setup, that just might do it (or not).
