My little brother had this crappy Compaq computer and we bought him some ram because he wanted to play video games without the computer going up in smoke. He now has 640RAM and also wanted a graphics card. The graphics card was a Diamond Stealth S80 Radeon 9200SE. Its OS is Windows XP.
After installing it, it worked great with games helping the frame rate, and overall graphic display. But when we tried to get online, the computer takes forever and a day to find a page. We have DSL and it normally pulls an entire page up in seconds, but now gives us a "Cannot Find Page" error.
We contacted the hardware company and our ISP, and they said that we should have disabled the original video driver. We did, and the internet is back working.
But now, certain things don't load, many "x's" appear (broken links), and we are unable to download anything, because it always says "server has been reset." We also cannot stay connected to AOL IM.
The whole reason for getting a new graphics card was for my bro. to play Star Wars Battlefront, but since it can't say connected to a server, he's screwed.
Can you guys help us? PLEASE!!!
