Here's my "little" problem: I get error message on every
3D app I have, that I have no 3D hardware available.
Still Catalyst drivers installs OK, all is fine, I can
use my TV-Out etc.

I'm using Windows XP pro with SP1 and aal the latest
updates.
MSI K7T266 Pro2-RU motherboard.

I tried all of these:
- new catalyst drivers
- older catalyst drivers
- omega modified catalyst drivers
- new and old VIA hyperion drivers
- Repair install of Windows XP

between changing Drivers I cleaned up all Catalyst
files...

Only one thing remains to be done: Fres install of XP

Could my radeon be busted?

I would really appreciate help.

Remove the ATI card with the device manager and reboot, it
should re-detect and load fresh drivers,

Go into the ATI properties and see what is turned on/off,
maybe they are just turned off.

Make sure you have the AGP drivers for your mobo loaded.

GOD! I feel myself such an idiot... I updated the newest
Hydravisions from VIA and boom... it had turned my DirecX
Hardware acceleration OFF... I spent the whole damn day
booting my comp... GRRRRRR!!!!!

....but now it's working... thanks for your efforts!
