Hey MS friends! I'm sorry to bother you guys, but I "think" I'm haveing
graphics card issues... >.< I just bought a Saphhire Radeon x1600 PRO (AGP
8x) which worked great in windows XP but when I installed Vista and tried to
boot into normal mode, the screen gos black. So then of course, I booted
into safe mode and looked around in device manage and saw that my sound card
wasn't being recognized (Soundblaster Live! 24bit) so I went to Creative's
website and downloaded the driver. The sound card is now recognized in the
device manager. So with the sound card off of my list, the thought of the
problem being my graphics card crossed my head. So I went to Sapphires
website... no vista drivers. Next I went to ATI's website. They had there
Catalyst Beta for Vista available so I tried that. It didn't help anything
but I noticed under the device manager, the graphics card was still running
off of the MS Driver (NOT ATI'S DRIVER)... So I'm a little confused on the
problem. If anybody could point me towards a working driver, or fix to
whatever the problem is, that would be nice. =D

Don't know anything about the card or the drivers, but when you installed
them did you "run as administrator"?
