  1. Hi Guys First time here I've checked, and my problem is not listed in Radeon technical issue, game issue, multimedia issue, nor MicroSoft search base. I've read http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/3179.html and searched through www.ati.com with the error message I saw. But, no topic mentions my problems. Here is a detailed hardware and software environment of my computer with problem description, Thanks a lot for reading it: ----- Hardware decription Powered By ATI Radeon 8500 128MB RAM ASUS A7V333 motherboard North Bridge Chipset: VIA KT333 South Bridge Chipset: VIA VT8233A AMD Athlon XP1900+ CPU 512MB DDR SDRAM ----- graphics-related BIOS & setting --- BIOS: ASUS version 1011 (latest) --- Setings: Graphics Aperature Size: 128MB AGP Bus Performance: Optimal (only Optimal/Turbo, default is Optimal) AGP Capbility: 4X Mode AGP Drive Strength AUTO AGP Performance Control: Disabled AGP Fast Write Control: Disabled Video Memory Cache Mode: UC (only UC/UCWC, default is UC) PCI/VGA Palette Snoop: Disabled ----- Software installed & Drivers Windows2000 Advenced Server English Version ServicePack3 Internet Explorer 6 (also tried 5, but not working either) DirectX 8.1 --- Drivers: VIA chipset 4 in 1 drivers version 4.42(a) (latest) ----- Problem Description Radeon 8500 driver seems to have a compatibility problem with Win2000 Advenced Server. After installing it, Internet Explorer is usually the first program that cannot be properly initialized to open. After IE fails to open, I can not open any other things, such as NotePad or Windows Explorer. Then it pops up the following error message: "The application fail to initialize properly (0xc0000142 ) Application Error." The problem won't appear, if I uninstall the ATI display driver, or run the window in safe mode. I have tried both the latest ATI display driver and the one of previous verion. Both has the same problem. They're the following: 1. w2k-radeon-5-13-01-6118-efg (latest) 2. w2k-ref-7-72-020524m-004274c Finis
