Thanks David I tried the name you gave me, and it still didn't work. Now, the problem seems to be with the memory. As I said, the card uses RAM for it's own memory, so I assume that it can't recognise that. After I chose the ammount of RAM manualy, it still didn't work. Now it's asking for the clockchip settings or something like that. It's got a few options on the list, but I have no idea what to choose. (I don't even know what that is to tell you honestly) That's about as far as I got. If there's anyone else that's familiar with the problem, please contact me ! P.S. What are HP comuters? :-) thanks ! David Freshwater wrote: > The SiS 5597/5598 is supported. Use the SiS86c201 . Are you by any chance > using a HP Comp?
