Installing Radeon PCI Card XP
 
I recently purchased a Radeon 9250 pci card for my Dell 2350. Need I say the Install instructions are wanting.

Question: Do I remove the old video driver before installing the new driver? If so how can I run a monitor to do the install? Do I then plug my monitor into the new card?

Currently after installing it when it boots it says there is no driver for the Radeon however its there?

Help!

You need to remove the old video card drivers before swapping things around. Then, you boot with the new card installed. Windows will use standard VGA drivers that do the job but lack advanced video acceleration (and so any fancy Windows effects will appear to render rather slowly). Once you're in Windows, you will need to install the Radeon drivers, preferably the latest version availabled from ATI's website.
