Ok so I just upgraded my system. obviously i reformatted win xp home. everything seems to have went perfect, EXCEPT:

i installed the Ati drivers, newest. installs fine, shows as installed fine in hardware manager. but there are two unknown devices that try to install upon startup. i have no clue what they are, but they both say they are located on Raedon, and that is the only information or clue i have.

I am about to try to reinstall the drivers for the third time to see if it works, but if you have any ideas that would be great.

UPDATE: doesnt work. uninstalled completely to include regedit, reboot, and it wants to install four devices. two normal devices which install perfect: ATi Radeon X800XL and same thing only it also says secondary. they install fine. then it says "unknown" twice and nothing will get it to install properly. when i click on the prop it says located on x800 radeon, but im starting to think that maybe it isnt? and plus, i had zero problems with it before the reformat and computer upgrade.

EDIT: sys specs:

P4 Prescott 3.0gHz
2GB PC3200
Radeon X800XL 256MB AGP 8X
SATA 10K RPM Raptor
