Need help with graphics card: Sapphire X1550!

[Teh_1337_0n3]

Hey guys, I've got some problems and wondered if you could help me:

Computer Specs:

Dell Dimension E520
PCI-Express
Intel Pentium D Processor
2 Gigs ram
Windows Vista

Sapphire X1550 Specs:

PCI-Express
Windows Vista certified
512MB DDR2 Memory
Made by ATI

Now I fitted the graphics card in correctly, disbaled the current motherboard graphics facility and then installed in the graphics card, once i'd restarted my computer as prompted, it said "Compatibility Issues".

Now I'm just wondering, what could cause the compatibility errors?

Help is greatly appreciated, as atm I can't really run much as i don't have a graphics card/Built in motherboard card running as i have the new graphics card fit into the computer.

Thanks.

The 'Compatibility Issues' message is a vista thing, usually caused by a driver incompatibility as far as I'm aware, I never made the leap of faith to vista yet my self...

Did you download the latest driver for the card from ATI ? (http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html)

That card does have vista compatible drivers (Catalyst 7.10) on the ATI site... if you have not yet tried them, I suggest you install them and see if the error persists.

Good luck !
