okay so i got a radeon x800 today for my girlfriend and its not letting any d3d or 3d acceleration work. it cant even detect how much ram the card has. weird but this problem is common. i want to try a fresh os install and hdd wipe. She has a dell dimension 8300... P4 2.6, GeForce FX5200, 1GB DDR400 Pc2700, 300GB hdd. windows xp. just upgraded her to an x800 today so the FX5200 obviously doesnt apply. when i boot from cd-rom, it sits for a second, and then just boots xp. dunno, never had this prob, it always just let me instally a fresh copy of windows right over.
