Video Card Problem

[OOZ662]

another thing i read on that video cards is it is crossfire and x8 speed if this is the case you need another x8 to make it the x16 speed just means that card is reliant on the second video card

You're looking at the wrong card. That's an AGP 8x. He has a PCI-E 16X. It would be halved to 2x8X if he used SLI.

This is not an issue, I am not using an adapter between the video card and the power supply.

I am currently using the video card as we speak, but the CD won't install the drivers so I can't play AH and simple things such as scrolling a web browser just doesn't run smoothly. So it is putting an image on my monitor, I would assume it should recognize the ATI Hardware yes? When I turn on the PC, it says I have new hardware I need to install.

It may be an issue. At least make sure you plugged two different lines to the adapter. You can _not_ use two molex from the same string of cable coming from the power supply.

Crossfire was first time published with the x1950pro and it was experimental + buggy. I would not hold my breath on getting it to work on that old card.

I really don't understand why you got a card that old anyway.

Check your motherboard manufacturer's website for a BIOS update.  Sometimes they fix hardware incompatibilities such as the one you are experiencing.
