I just bought a ATI-ALL-IN-WONDER Radeon 7500 64mb AGP and Im having a problem playing games.When I try to play Quake 3 it loads to the options menu and I start the game.It loads the map but then the monitor goes blank and the computer freezes.This also happen on Grand Theft Auto 3 and Spider-Man. Could you please tell me whats wrong and how to fix it.

:confused: :(

Checkout the latest drivers for the card and also look on ATI's website for any FAQ's or solutions

I couldn't get the driver to work, after I installed it it said to restart the PC, so I did. When it started up it said new hardware found install drivers so I just installed the old ones. I don't know why the new one doesn't work, unless I'm downloading the wrong thing.

When I try to install that driver it gets to the point where it says registering fonts and then it stops responding, always at the same part. I don't know whats wrong with it

Hi

Remove ALL traces of ATI reference drivers from the system and then try installing either the official ATI or the Plutonium drivers alternatives.

Well werid thing happened to day I uninstalled quake 3 again then reinstalled it and it worked and after getting it to work every other game worked as well. It;s a pretty good budget card but not as good as my over heating geforce 4 440 SE.
