So I decided that a new video card was in order, and sauntered on down to the local Best Buy and picked up a Radeon. Come home, plug it in, install the software/drivers and bickety-bang, I get this goofy error message when I try to change the res or color. Says "Unexpected response recieved from display adapter." I ran over to ATI's site, downloaded the latest drivers, and same thing. Any ideas?

Turned out it was my AGP drivers. Still bad performance, so now I'm trying Me. Working much better

Lucky You. I found WinMe to suck large portions of ass. By contrast, Win2k has been solid as a rock and wicked fast for everything but games.

My CDR fails to work properly under WinME, and the new internet thing that is 'sposed to speed things up was actually slower and doesn't let @guard work.

Anyway-consider yourself lucky.

BTW: I have an ATI AllinWonderPro

I think that Me is just a goofy install. I started from a fresh install, on a new format. Everything seems to be running well, and the ATI drivers are decent, although they could use some work. I think I read somewhere that IE 5.5 is definately slower than 5.0, but I've been using Netscape 6, and that seems to be quick enough for me.
