it seems after i reinstalled vista, i cant flip the programs with aero. i cant seem to run games either, i get so goofy error message. should i update my drivers? i dont know what to do this is what i got ATI RADEON Xpress1270 256MB HyperMemory. if someone could tell me what to do id appreciate it.

i made a partition for xp pro and after i installed it it was real slow and the drivers i downloaded from dell didnt seem to do anything, so i did a clean reinstall of vista to overwrite xp pro. now i have 2 volumes with vista on it. could that cause problems?

thanks.

Have you installed the Vista drivers for your hardware (after doing the reinstall of Vista)? If not, you can download the Radeon drivers from here: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst...egrated-vista32 (this presumes that you've got the 32 bit version of Vista - the 64 bit drivers are here: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst...egrated-vista64 )

Don't forget that you'll need all the other drivers for the system also.
