Thanks for your response Danzil, I used the CD driver supplied and yes, like you, I think this has caused the problem. I have uninstalled everything but will try again tonight using your suggestions. I did use the vga connection...no cable as you described. Regards Carl

Hi from a newbie to this forum....and boy do I need your help. Please excuse my descriptions as I'm not really that knowledgable....but you have to start somewhere! Last week I bought a GeCube ATI Radeon 9250 on Ebay (think this was a big mistake). Installed it after disabling the on-board card and loaded drivers provided. Then everything seemed to go pear-shaped. The card seemed eractic, changing screen resolutions, and performance didn't seem very good. I'm not playing any games bty, just basic photo-shop, kitchen-planning graphics and stuff...nothing major. Stuff like playing youtube vids no different to my onboard card. THEN, and this may be purely coincidental, when on-line I started getting multiple pop-ups, something I have not had for ages. I use NTL's netguard and mozilla. Decided to uninstall everything that I had installed with the new card. On removing programs I noticed a new one not knowingly installed by myself with seemed to be causing the pop-ups. Could this have come from the set-up disc provided with my (what I now consider to be) conterfeit/dodgy card? Anyway, nearly back to normal except my graphics are still not right.....On certain web pages and my start-up Mozilla page I get large red blocks instead of the normal graphics. Hard to explain! http://s72.photobucket.com/albums/i166/harryburgundy/?action=view&current=Computer.jpg Like this. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Carl
