yeah, just saw that as well.
good news is that the RDesktop video driver no longer comes up on the system information (used msinfo32.exe) to get that up again.

did u look at the memory conflict attachment i made? any ideas there?

well I have the a7n8x deluxe, it's torn up right now, but it took me three loads to get everything right with xp sp2, damn asus drivers are for the most part pre-sp2, when doing a clean install I found the sp2 had almost everything except the sata and the sound, earlier attempts with asus drivers and later nforce just hosed everything

I moderate a burning and blank media subforum so I was real particular about the ide parts, never had any issues with agp or memory conflicts tho

you don't have a pci card installed in the top slot next to the agp slot do you?

the top PCI slot is covered by the size of the 6800 GT, its freaking huge, barely fit in my MOBO as its even right against my HDD's.
use one of the bottom PCI slots for a firewire card but thats it.

finally got the PC on reboot to recognize the card (after i turned it off and unplugged it) but when it went to install the drivers the error message of 'cannot install this hardware as the drivers are either corrupt or missing' came up.
and this is AFTER i did all the right steps to get rid of ANY nvidia drivers for this card.

i hope a full re-install will sort this out....

redownload the drivers from Nvidia for the card or try using the driver disk it came with.
