(BTW - the minidump isn't attached to your post).

The error points to your video driver. A search of the ATI website shows that they haven't released a Win7 driver for the X1300 (but have for other cards). This leads me to suspect that: 1) this card won't be supported by Win7, and 2) that there's likely to be compatibility issues with Win7.

I cannot locate your motherboard on the MSI website. Please provide a link for it so we may research the board.

In the meantime, boot into the XP installation and run this free tool: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...e-advisor.aspx
Let us know what the report says and we'll move on from there.
Oh joy, Oh rapture unforeseen. Cloudy skies are now serene.

Finally, with your patient and courteous help the problem is solved.
I went over to Best Buy and bought a Diamond Radeon HD 2400 adapter, plugged it in and it worked right out of the box. No need to install any separate Win7 drivers.

Thanks again for all of your help.
