Hey there,Im pretty sure this is becuase one of 2 reasons: Possiblity 1:That you have not inserted your video card correctly and some adjusting to its position on your motherboard should help(or even another pci slot if possible)
Possiblity 2:That the Card is not compatible With your system which is unlikley..
First enable you onboard video the connect your monitor to it. Insert you ATi video card in the mother board. Boot up. Install the ATi driver. Shutdown. Trasfer the monito to ATi video card. Then enjoy with you new vedeo card!
are your system meet the requirement??? ATI Radeon™ HD 4850 System Requirements
PCI Express® based PC is required with one X16 lane graphics slot available on the motherboard
450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express® power connector recommended (550 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)
For a complete ATI CrossFireX™ system, a second ATI Radeon™ HD 4850 graphics card, an ATI CrossFireX Ready motherboard and one ATI CrossFireX Bridge Interconnect cable per graphics card (included) are required
Hi winklewee, please let me know if this video card is for a notebook or desktop PC? It would also help if you list the amount of memory on the card & type of memory.
You should update the Radeon card regardless of my request above. Click this link I have posted below for a desktop PC.
Uninstall any older drivers before installing the newer drivers. ATI/AMD come's out with new drivers quit often.
For Vista 32-Bit Edition Radeon 2400 Series (PCI-e). http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=vista32/common-vista32
For Vista 64-Bit Edition Radeon 2400 Series (PCI-e). http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=vista64/common-vista64
Try the new software first & see if Vista improves. If not think about either increasing you're system memory or increasing the memory size of a new video card.
Good Luck!
Please post the results from the updated software from ATI.

Try this as follows:
1) Remove any ATI graphics drivers from your PC.
2) Install your driver from the original disc.
3) if it works, ok, if not, update to the latest driver from ATI's website.
4) if that doesnt work, try to maunally delete registery entires of ATI, IN SAFE MODE of course. then remove the driver of ATI, then install it from CD, again, if it works, ok, if not, update it from ATI website.
