Yep. I got a new graphics card. I'm on Windows XP pro.
So how can I make one/solve my problem?

How do I make a Windows CD it needs to install a new card?
I'm new to this, and not sure what instructions I should follow.

EDIT: I downloaded new ATI drivers without yet putting the card in. The driver setup says "Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system." Does that mean I should install the card first? (hardware? So I guess it does?)

Yes, it installs them onto the actual card.

Not really on the card..

The drivers search for keys of the hardware , unque strings that tell it what its running,

uninstall any videocard drivers you got right now, put in your new card, boot up, install the drivers

Not much experience with Graphics cards, Jamesy. Was just my best guess.

Thanks for helping me out with this.
I deleted everything from ATI/SUPPORT. Were those the earlier drivers?
EDIT: Actually, they're in "ATI Technologies" at Program Files, right?

Works now.
