I previosuly had a geforce 5200 pci, all games worked fine.. This card is a radeon 9800 pro 128 AGP. Before i installed the radeon i uninstalled the nvidia drivers then installed the new card. then i installed drivers from the ATI site.. when i went to play my game error came up saying: were sorry for the incoveniance this program must close. so then i just ininstalled the game and when i try to reinstall i get same error. so i tried a different game and get the same thing. please help.
I was told by someone i may need to get Driver Cleaner and clean all the old nvidia and ATI drivers even though i removed them. so i did and still nothing.
Im pretty sure my motherboard supports AGP because i can do everyuthing else just not play games.. and when i go to hardware it says the radeon 9800 pro is working properly.

hmm interesting i hate theese problems and struggle to help when not hands on, but try going to control panel, and open system icon, click hardware tab, device manager button, then the + by display adapters see if the geforce card is still there if so right click and remove it, also ensure the radeon card shows there.
I think you are saying you updated your drivers at the radeon site if not do that.
Also look at the card if all the pins are in slots in the mother board then yes, your board supporst your agp card.
lastly i guess you could return it and try a new one, or even better get a pci-e card

Maybe its because you needed a bigger videocard like a 256mb or 512mb. I just lost my ATI xtasy 9250 radeon 128mb vc. It was 31/2 years old. So I consider it as lasting long enough. But it was slow or nonexistent on my games. So I'm moving up to a ATI Radeon HIS Iceq2 512mb card Haven't used it yet I need a 500 watt power supply to run it.
Mine was a AGP and is still an agp.

Hi. Both cards use different drivers. Most ATI cards use a driver called "Catalyst" of some version. I would download the drivers (after using "Add/Remove programs" to remove all ATI and Nforce drivers) then install the new ATI driver. Hope this works for you.

Try removing the ATI control panel from add/remove programs. Also, make sure and install MS .NET FrameWork 2.0 (microsoft.com)
