Okay, re-formatted earlier, because of PC messing me about, so;

What do these icons mean? After installing a few things, they've appeared? They show no text or anything when I hover over them and if I go on Customize to like select "Hide when Inactive", "Always Show", "Always Hide" in the System Tray, they have no name...



Also, minor question; when putting my ATI Sapphire (Atlantis) Radeon 9600 PRO Advantage graphics card, what do I do first? Install driver, then put Card in, or card in then install driver?

Many thanks,
Josh

errmm.....Scroll Lock, Caps Lock, Num Lock.

And usually the drivers won't do anygood without the card being there to detect.....might even cause a hang-up of some type.

Ok, last quesiton/problem:

Put my 9600 card in without doing the Driver first, booted up PC;

It loaded the BIOS screen, then my Windows XP loading screen, but on the Welcome screen, it just shuts of my monitor as if it's on standby.

I've already made a System Restore Point before I started putting the Card out/in...

What should I do? I have an old ATI Sapphire Radeon 9250 as well, but I got a new 9600 for Xmas which I'm hoping to use...
