Has anybody been able to get a Radeon 9200 to work. I have this card in a Vista HTPC and it works fine for what I need right now. I spent three hours trying to get this card to work with no luck. I tried Win XP drivers, which work but I get a blue screen anytime I restart and then have to manually change the resolution. AMD/ATI doesn't have any drivers supporting this card. I found one post about somebody getting it to work by getting the dll's from a working Vista installation and copying them to the Windows 7 PC but I'd rather not "hack" this since my wife uses it during the day and she's not very technical, it just needs to work all the time. I know it's an old card and I plan to upgrade to a new motherboard, CPU, RAM, video, etc but wanted to see how well the performance is on my current hardware to decide what to buy.

I slipstreamed SP3 into my XP CD that had SP2 slipstreamed. I also integrated all the drivers from driverpacks.net and I slipstreamed some programs like IE7, WMP11, Quicktime, and a few others with RyanVM Integrator. The problem I am having is my PC boots and reboots whe nI want it to, but if it sits idle for a while it shuts off on its own. The screen saver is set to come on after 10 min and then the monitor shuts off after 20 minutes. This all works but eventually if it sits idle long enough it shuts off. Anybody have any ideas of what I could try? Thanks
