New card --> ATI Radeon X1650 Pro AGP
Old card --> ATI Radeon X850 Pro AGP
First thing I did was uninstall the Catalyst software/drivers from the X850. I then shut down, opened the machine and took out the X850. I put in the X1650, put everything back together, and booted up.

Uninstall all ATI software in add/remove programs.
In Device manager, click on display adapters and find the ATI Card.
Right click on it and uninstall. You should have the standard windows drivers now.
Run the catalyst uninstall software to be sure.
Reboot and install new drivers.......see if that works..
I had done all that, except for the Device Manager part. In my Device Manager I don't have a "Display Adapters" option, but I've already used ATI's uninstall software so maybe that's why.
I've tried getting the latest drivers for my card manually from ATI's site, too (advanced and basic setups), and nothing has worked so far. I get the same error for every way I try to install the drivers: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/2039/atiproblempm0.png

I'm really hoping there's an easy solution that I haven't caught on to :/
So now it seems I can't install ATI drivers, because my VGA driver is wrong/bad/absent...but I can't install VGA drivers either.
I've seen a lot of posts over various forums (google searches) about this, and still don't have an answer out of the many posts I've read. Reinstalling Windows really isn't an option for me. ><
