radeon 9200

Hi I have just got a new card as subject, I am getting terrible lag when playing counterstrike. I wanted to d/l a new driver for it so i went to the ati site and went for the latest catalyst driver for win XP. after setup I get this message:

setup was unable to find components that can be installed on your current hardware or software configuration. Please make sure you have the required harware or software.

How come?

are there any settings for the card that I can change to improve this? If so how do I go about it please?

Thx in adv

Woody

1) Go to the card mfg. web site and dl their drivers.
2) Create a restore point.
3) Uninstall your current drivers and reboot.

windows will detect the video card and will want to install drivers - just cancel when prompted.

4) Disable your antivirus (assuming you have one.)
5) Try to install the ATI driver, if it fails again, try to install the mfg drivers and reboot.

If both fail to install, then either there is a hardware problem or other software is interfering; In which case you can do a system restore and be back to where you started.

Other things you can do:
lower the graphics settings for the game.
install the latest directx if you haven't done so.
