I'm having the same agony. I can't get the Radeon 8500 DV to install in WinXP Home. I have an HP 8575C with on-board video. I've disabled that Riva TNT in BIOS without success. The people at ATI suggested disabling the Radeion DVI via the dip switch on the board. I haven't tried that yet. If you do and you're successful, please post the response.

Here is how I fixed this problem. Booting into Safe Mode, and then removed the AGP bus in device manager/system. Then rebooted into regular mode and noticed it was missing a file for the AGP bus driver. So I reinstalled the VIA 4-in-1 drivers. (Since I have a VIA chipset). Now it works fine. Hope this helps.

Thanks to Chris !
I had the same problem with a Nvidia Geforce 2 video card, and the common stuff was the VIA chipset.
I've reinstalled VIA 4 in 1 driver and it works fine now !
Yes this tips helps !

Thanks,
