Incompatible with XP SP2

[Guest]

When I upgrade to SP2, the machine frost when doing system check. A .dll
file relating to my video card ATI Radeon 7000 cause the installation to
frosh and cause major problem. I cannot boot up my system and I end up
reinstalling my machine. Then I check the Microsoft website and saw that
Radeon 7000 is not on Window XP Compatible List. Is there any patch or way
to get around my video card problem so that I can upgrade to SP2? Thank you.

be surprised if there are no updated drivers taht fix this problem

Using same video card and no problems after SP2 install on
XP Pro and didn't need to upgrade driver.

ATI site said the new driver is recommended for XP with SP2 installed. It's
like a deadlock. New driver requires SP2, but I can never install SP2 with
this video card. What I might need to do is to insert RAGE 128 Pro to do SP2
upgrade and then upgrade back to Radeon 7000 after SP2 is installed. Do you
have any suggestion on this?
