Attempting to replace am ASUS V7700 32MB AGP with ATI Radeon 128MB AGP in XP SP1. ATI instructions said to remove current AGP drivers before installing ATI. I did. Shut down, installed new card, rebooted, got no display. Shut down and reinstalled old card, rebooted, got as far as XP splash screen, then no display. Booted to XP CD, ran repair, after restart got XP splash screen but no display (could still see disk activity as if continuing to load, but no display).
Performed parallel installation on 2nd HD, successfully. Installed ATI card under new installation successfully. (Now have two instances to select at boot menu) Original installation is trying to complete setup, get the message “Setup is restarting……”, then hangs. Any way to complete setup in original installation? MS Support KB says reinstall will delete restore points, etc. Would like to go back to original install.
Thanks.
