Hello, I recently purchased an ATI Radeon 256MB GDDR3 X700 Pro to upgrade my current graphics card (64MB NVidia Geforce 3) for my Dell 8200. I am having installation problems. I removed my old Nvidia drivers and the graphics card and replaced it with the ATI. I turned the system on and after DELL logo disappears, the monitor goes blank and says "Cannot Display This Video Mode". I tried to install the ATI driver in the Safe Mode but the installation fails. I downloaded all the available updates (BIOS, etc) from Dell and Intel website. Do you think its due to monitor (Dell 1503FP) not able to support the video mode or my motherboard not supporting it? Please help!

Sounds like your monitor can't display the default refresh rate of the card. If you got another monitor around, try hooking it up long enough to install the drivers and manually set your refresh rate.
Summary: I am attempting to play a game on my computer, but everytime I try to start it, I always get: cant change video mode to 800x600x32bits. How do I fix this? ...
