Graphics Card Not Working

alright i figured i would post my problems in the specific areas (see General Hardware - Problems with Everything) so this is the deal...
 
i have an ATI Radeon 9600, however since i reformatted my windows XP on my dimension 4550, the card is not even recognized.  I go into dxdiag off of run and when i look at which video it does say i have, there is nothing...please someone help

    After your xp reformat you will need to reinstall the video drivers for your radeon.
     
    Get them here:  www.amd.com
     
    Good Luck

    chesterLL,

    Before installing the video card driver, install the Intel Chipset driver.

    the problem has been fixed, what i did is after i downloaded the chipset drivers like you said, i ran the 'advanced graphics diagnosis utility' in support.dell.com and after a couple of tries it recognized the card. thanks to everyone who responded
