Problems with install of ATI Mobility Radeon 9700

[geointl]

I have a dell Inspiron 9200 and just had to reload windows XP due to a Hard drive Failure. The problem is, is when I try to Install The ATI Driver that I downloaded from the Dell site. It tells me that it is already loaded on my machine.

When I look in device manager it does not list any Display adapters. I also tried looking in my add/remove programs to uninstall it and it is not there.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Check device manager and also look at View "Show hiiden devices" in there

You may also need to check in Safe Mode.

Once I had to remove an addon video card, boot up Windows, then turn back off, then install the card again, to get it to work!

I suppose also confirm your CMOS is set to start from the correct video card (if you have onboard and addon Video card)

Looked with show hidden devices, not there.

Did not remove the card. Is this hard on a laptop?

Could ou please guide me on how to check and/or change my CMOS if that is the case.

Thanks for the help
