ATI Driver on Dell E510

Running Windows XP MCE on my E510.  I reinstalled XP according to Dell and followed the instructions for installing the drivers.  All of this was done using the Dell Reinstallation DVD and Dell Resources CD I got with my PC.

Everything went fine, but everytime I start Windows I get  the following warning screen - "The ATI Control Panel failed to initialize becayse no ATI driver is installed, or ATI driveris not working properly.  The ATI Panel will now exit."

I then went to Device Manager- Display Adapters which showed that

Radon X600 256MB Hyper Memory - Disabled

Radon X600 256MB Hyper Memory Secondary - Disabled

I elected to enable each adapter and did a restart, which got me a black screen that required me to manually shut down, restart to safe mode, disable both adapters, restart in normal mode.  I still get the above warning message.

I then tried disabling one adapter at a time to no avail, same problem on both adapters.  I also tried reinstalling the ATI drivers and got the same Warning result.

I also cannot use Media Center because it advises that the video card or drivers are not compatable with Media Center.  Mecia Center opens but, only the Internet Connection, Games & Picture portions are functioning.

Any recommendations?

Thank you.,

Tony
