I have a windows 1998 and I downloaded all the Radeon and Catalyst stuff and the DX thingy. It still won't load! It says I don't have the adapters. When I went to clean out my graphics it says I don't have any (which I do)! Please help me! I need the TS2!

Do you actually have a Radeon card or an ATI card? If not the later then the drivecleaner utility won't work.

There are differing sets of drivers for differing sets of ATI cards.

The drivers for the Radeon cards only go back as far as the Radeon 7000 which is the first in the series.

It sounds like you might have an ATI Rage Pro/Fury or an earlier ATI card. These are usually unsupported.

Grab a utility like SisSoftware Sandra from http://www.sisoftware.net/ and it will tell you exactly what you have in your computer. You'll need the Video System Information module which comes with the program and will tell you which card you have.

I understand that I need to download Video System Information module but I don't know where to find it. I still really confused. If you could please give me step by step information then I think I would get it. Thanks
