Hi there guys, I know this is abit of an old graphics card but it's never let me down, Recently i built another computer (only a standard for the missus) And it appears the graphics card's drivers just won't work, I've tried the CD drivers and downloadable ones, But i still get the same problem when trying open up films or games etc it just says it cannot detect a usable video card, I've tried this in 2 other computers and it's the same problem, everything boots fine just the drivers/card is having none of it, i've used the same HDD (which i know works as i've tried it with my pc everything was fine) Could it be that the cards conked? Is there any way of actually testing?

Edit: Forgot to mention GPU-Z Does actually pick the card up and i'm using Windows XP 32bit (tried vista 32 and 64 also

Thank you.
