Graphics driver I recently installed a new graphics card as my computer was very slow. I'm operating on Microsoft XP Proffessional 2000 with AMD Sempron processor. 1.6GHx,768 MB of RAM. The new graphics card, NVIDIA GeForce 6200, came with a Sparkle SmartInstall disc. Model No. 219 Version 7A. My computer is still very slow. ie; 60plus seconds to open the average program 90plus seconds to open a more complicated program. I use Paint Shop Pro graphics program and PhotoShop Elements as well as complicated genealogy programs, these take forever to move from one screen to another, it's driving me mad. Are there any updates that will help, do I need a rebuild or is it a whole new system???? Help please, Leonie Morris.
Since you're running WinXP, I'm going to assume that your PC is most likely equipped with a P4 processor.
My suggestion would be to get a whole new PC. A new pc costs about $400 for just a basic set up.

Hello doia_k2014, I found latest driver for your ATI RADEON 9200 video card fully compatible with Windows Xp, 2000. Click save driver to your computer, install the driver, don't forget to restart the computer. Here is the 2 links below.
it depends on what os you are installing if you are installing windows xp, all pre 2000 graphics card dont usualy need drivers in windows xp, if its not asking for drivers you maybe have to install them manualy *DRIVERLINK* (winxp):http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/legacy-xp.html *DRIVERLINK* (win2k):http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/2k/legacy-2k.html *DRIVERLINK*(win98):http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/98me/legacy-98me.html
These are the last drivers made by ati for that graphics card
If you have on board graphics try removing video card and reboot when computer rebooted turn it of and refit card and restart when restarted computer should recognize new hard ware and should find the already installed drivers if not try installing drivers again Sometimes windows does not recognize new hardware until its refitted had this problem with modems alot and the above method solved it
For your sound card how many plug in openings are you using on your card?If only 1 is all, than that is why.Try re-downloading your soft ware.If your running Vista, than your problem is that,Vista,just like XP started out ,many many incompatible issues with the operating system that will fix them selves with more time.Secondly your graphics problem:Are you using Vista???? You now have a start ,not stating what operating system your running is one problem.
I have Sony Vaio VGN-CR26GN/B Laptop.I have Intel processor and ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 graphic card.I need NEW UPDATED drivers for ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 Graphic card.OLD Drivers are causing performance issues.There are no new drivers for ATI MOBILITY RADEON X2300 graphic card on ATI.com and AMD website and other websites.I have searched the web but the result is nothing.I have also searched Sony website for drivers but they have not updated for a longtime.Please PLEASE Give me the link for NEW Updated drivers for this Graphic card Model:ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 on my email.ThankYou
the only way to improve graphics is to upgrade your graphics card and ensure that you have enough system memory and proccesor power to run the game as it should do.
If you have a 32MB or 64MB card then maybe you should go for atleast 128MB
