Visiontek Dual Monitor Radeon 7K 64MB DDR PCI?

Question

I just bought this graphics card and i installed it into my PCI slot, plugged in the monitor into the card, and installed all the drivers on the disk. I have a Windows XP Home Edition Dell Dimension 3000. Now. for some reasonon, whenever i play the sims 2 (or probably any other game), it turns into a window down by the start button, that i cannot maximize in order to see the game that i want to play, i can only hear the sound. And another thing, my computor is slow now because it freezes for short periods of time. I'm thinking that it is because of an error on the drivers but can anyone help me out please? Because i spent 50 dollars on it and i am not about to return it. I tried to be specific as i can so please help me.

Answer 1

Don't uninstall or take anything out. Just surf on over to the test here and run it on your machine as it is now. It will let you know which specs you have to address in order to run the Sims 2. Different games have more requirements, and this is a way to test.

In the black box, pick The Sims 2 - or the version in question

In XP, you can also run a diagnostic from START/RUN
type in

dxdiag

Run the various tests to get diagnostics on your system. You need to be able to have hard and software that can run version 9.x of DirectX -- normally it is included with your video software but it can be downloaded for free from your vid card homepage, to upgrade your video drivers.
