Can't install Sound and Video driver

[joemamaisfat555]

Hello,

I just reformatted my computer because I was getting sick of my computer being slow. After I refomatted to Windows XP Home Edition everything seem to run fine. But when i tried to install my sound driver from dell that i got off the website, it freezes and my screen goes blank. This also happens when I try to install my ATI radeon 9200 series driver. One time a blue screen came up saying I was having problems with the atidvag.dll file. I just can't understand whats going on.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!1

Thanks in advance to anyone that responds.

So yes, try to install the driver in safe mode.

If that doesn't work it could be a problem with the card itself.

yeah i fixed it by lowering my hardware acceleration then installing it....but now i have a problem wiht playing Counter-Strike 1.6, it just freezes when i load it up...someone please help

i have a dell and to install the ATI Catalyst stuff i need to perform windwows update first as it requires the .NET2 Framework which is not installed by default on XP SP2

Get the newest ATI drivers off the ATI/AMD site, that might help

yeah the newest drivers don't help, im getting so mad that i cant figure out why counter-strike isn't working for me...
