Installed XP Pro fresh less than a week ago, all hardware installed fine (I almost collapsed from shock!). I have a Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO, less than a year old, and a 3Com 3C905B-TX network card........
For a start 3D games and DVD playback is jerky using the native XP driver and when i downloaded the new one from ATI it decided the card was a Radeon 7200, and the graphics got worse.
The network card was fine, I used it to transfer files from my flatmates ME machine, but yesterday the icon in the taskbar gained a red cross, and says the cable is unplugged. This is not the case - nothing has changed since using the connection previously. Nothing I do will make it access the other PC now (2 PC network using crossover cable), even uninstaling/reinstalling the NIC, and rebooting several times.
Any ideas?!?!?
