Summary of Problem
--------------------------
I recently reinstalled Windows XP (Home) and can not get it to recognise my video card at all (Radeon 9200SE). I've tried installing drivers but it tells me to set up a standard VGA driver. I go to install the VGA driver (found here) for my motherboard (AOpen MX46-533 Max) and it says the vga device does not exist. Only noticable difference is a lagging scroll. Also can't change many monitor settings and obviously none of my games work.

Let me know if there's anything else you need to know.

Error Messages
---------------------
When I start the computer I get two error messages related to this, one saying "The ATI Control Panel failed to initialize because no ATI driver is installed." one saying "No ATI graphics driver is installed". I think the first is from a program I installed off the disc that came with my video card and the second is one I downloaded from the ATI website, Catalyst. The error messages are kind of obvious, if I could install the drivers I wouldn't have a problem in the first place, and I'm sure I only need one of these programs installed anyway. Just trying to provide as much information as possible.

Prior to This
----------------
The reason I reinstalled windows was because whenever I restarted my computer the screen would go in to what seemed to be standby mode (click off, light fades from yellow to orange). This would happen after the boot sequence, when it should have gone to the log in screen. I thought this might have been the video card but was told to try reinstalling and it hasn't happened since, but there's also no video card recognized, so i'm not sure if it's related.

Tried So Far
----------------
-Installing Radeon Drivers > Please set up standard VGA driver
-Download VGA Drivers > The VGA Device does not exist
-Install Monitor Drivers > In device manager, Video Controller (VGA Compatible) moved from other devices to display adapters, still with little yellow exclamation mark.
-Reseated and cleand graphics card > No change
-Plugged monitor into MB rather than graphics card > Stopped working
-Tried to install drivers by pointing to them in device manager > Started installing then monitor went to stand-by mode, had to restart
I don't have any problems with retrying any of this under proper guidance.
I've spent the last two weeks looking for how to fix this, I'd be so grateful if anyone can help me at all.
