Anything but a format!

Anyone know what needs to be edited?

Take a look at the ATI removal guides posted in the driver section for ATI..it will give you an idea where you need to look.

Update: Dom I think I did a much better explaination here. http://www.hardwareheaven.com/showthre...threadid=13013

Sorry about that..

OK. I did have to reinstall Windows.

But, no problem, cause everything is working now.

Something odd happened though (well maybe just odd to me). After formating and installing Windows, I noticed everything was sssslllloooowwww. I couldn't figure out what it was, I mean it was a fresh copy of Windows and everything, I tried everything I could think of. So after using excessive profanities, I thought to my self, "Could the card not be getting enough power?". I didn't think that was the problem obviously, because it was the last thing I tried. When I hooked-up the card directly to the PSU, I used a floppy connector instead of the floppy-to-IDE power connector. So long story short I hooked it up that way and all is fine now!

Fill Rate (Multi-Texturing)
(MTexels/s)
2139.8 ---my little ti4200

2260.2 ---your 9700pro

It always amazes my when I see the fill rate comparisons- It amazes me that my ti4200 is even in the same ballpark as a 9700pro- None of the other tests are even close. Is that directly related to core speed in mhz or something?
