Incomprehensible Blathering

Video Card cometh

I purchase a refurbished ATI Radeon 9200 late last week and was delighted when it arrived today a day earlier than FedEx said it would. The physical installation went very well but the software was another story. I tried several times with different variations on order of installation but the device still had problems. The most notable problem was a series of lines in a block around the cursor. This didn't show up when using the default Windows driver but showed up as soon as I logged in while using ATI's latest driver. As it turned out, I had too many previous installations from previous video cards. Once I found a way to remove those old installations, I was able to reinstall and after one false start, it finished perfectly. I am pleased and look forward to utilizing this video card's capabilities.

    A video card is (simply put) a device which connects the main board of a computer to the monitor. It does lots of other things like 3D rendering, etc. Some video cards allow television input and/or television output, too.
