526052 2007-02-20 03:12:00 I ran the Upgrade Advisor a few times and it told me to upgrade my video card. I did just that but now when I run the Advisor it scans for 5 minutes and then flicks back to the "Start Scan" window without giving me any details??? rogerj (10844)
526053 2007-02-20 04:09:00 What did you upgrade from? What did you upgrade too? Did you install new drivers etc? Pete O'Neil (6584)
526054 2007-02-20 04:29:00 Upgraded from an nVidia Quadro4 200NVS AGPx4 to a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT AGPx8/x4 which according to another test has a bit more grunt and can run Vista (I am hog tied by the AGPx4 slot). Downloaded and installed Catalyst 7.1 drivers and software without any problem. Don't think that the video card or drivers are the trouble because everything else works pefectly and slightly faster.
