      found this message also i think this is the culprit-------------   Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)

      Are you downloading rom the ATI website? If not, make sure that's where you get it from. Then uninstall the old driver, reboot, and install the new one.
