    ATI Radeon 9200SE PROBLEMS!
    I have a P4 2.4 and the 9200 in an AGP slot.

    When I used the installation CD, after the reboot it required the system loaded up a black screen with the mouse pointer in the middle, and promptly froze up.

    It was due for a spring clean anyway, so I reformatted and reinstalled everything. Now it works. BUT I get a flickering unstable image. Only a tiny flicker, but enough to drive you mad.

    I went to ATI and downloaded their config/driver package, and it won't install - says it's preparing the installsheild wizard, then disappears and does nothing.

    Any ideas?

    ATI 9200 Problem
    I was having the same problem with my son's computer, I experimented with putting a fan on the heatsink, which I could hardly touch, I have not had an issue with my ATI 9200 AGP card since

    Radeon
    Hi,
    After a lot of research on this type of card, this might be a "shot in the dark", but most of it points to DirectX.
    Have you downloaded/installed the latest DirectX updates? I am not sure that will solve the "flicker" problem, but it is mentioned in many searches.
    Best of luck.
