Locate, download, install and update Driver Cleaner Pro. Do not run it yet.

Completely remove the drivers for the Raedon. Do not reboot when XP request
you to.

Run Driver Cleaner Pro and select the ATi Raedon driver cleaner. This should
remove the "last" traces of the "defective" drivers.

Reboot.

By-pass the "New Hardware" Wizard.

Install the latest available Raedon drivers

Reboot.

Locate, download and install the latest motherboard chipset drivers (to get
the AGP slot drivers)

Locate, download and install any drivers for your monitor.



If the flickering still occurs,

1) Try a different monitor.

2) Try to re-install DirectX 9.0c

3) Check to see if your PC might be "over clocked." If your PC has been "over
clocked", please return it to the original settings required by your CPU.
Then, try to over clock it again.


Over Clocking -- Set the BIOS controls for Voltage, RAM and CPU speeds to
higher settings than what the manufacturer is recommending.
