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. -------------------- - John

Check your Device Manager for red x's or yellow !'s. To do this, go to Start and type in "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
