Another frustrated ATI Rage 128 PRO sucker

Trying to make the ATI Rage 128 PRO (AIW) graphics adapter work on Windows 2000.
I have tried both the recommended driver and the alternative driver from www.ati.com, and both give the error message "This display driver is not compatible with the display adapter(s) installed in your system."

The latest version of DirectX has been freshly downloaded and installed on the system. What else needs to be done?

Please!!

Sorry about the delay in responding to this question - the computer belongs to someone else who is keeping it locked up.

It's presumably the configuration issue, as the card previously worked fine. I had to reinstall W2000 due to a different problem, now the identical driver won't install.

The adapter appears in Device Manager with an exclamation mark, but Properties insists the device is working properly, and there are no conflicts listed on the resources tab. Are there likely to be conflicts which aren't showing?

If the driver won't install, you may have problems with the security settings in the registry.........contact ATI tech support and 1) make sure you have the latest driver.........and, 2) they should be able to tell you which registry key you need to change the security settings on...........
