Nope, not working fine.
That is what i downloaded.
Maybe some incompatibility with the kt400 chipset?

In the past, I had problems with an ABIT KT7A v1.0 not working with FX and GF6 series cards, but it was fine with Radeon 9600XT and 9800XT cards.

If you have a spare hard drive, I would pop it in and do a clean install of WinXP SP3. It has drivers for the 9600XT built in, if I remember right. Then you can install the official v10.2 drivers and see what happens.

Yes the bulit in drivers gave me 4 fps on cs 1.6(steam version) menu, the fx 5200 was able to run the game at 50-60 fps, most games started to crash on startup so when i went to upgrade the drivers the issues started.
The driver installer said that i hadn't compatible hardware for the drivers, then i removed the stock drivers and applied the inf file on device manager and then it installed, but the crashes and low fps issues wasnt fixed.
I brought back the fx 5200, installed the drivers and now its working great.
I would consider the card being faulty but it works perfectly on my windows 98 pentium 4(using intel 865 chipset i never had a single crash)
And back in the day when this pc was my main pc i upgraded it from a gf4 mx 440 to one radeon 9550 i had the exact same issue installing the drivers( hence why every other gpu i bought was from nvidia, things with nvidia just worked for me, except when upgrading older cards to much newer drivers like gtx 550 ti to the latest driver available)
I don't really know but it seems to me that is some compatibility issue with my ASUS A7V8X-X.

Edit: i did some research and indeed the Radeon 9600 has compatibility issues with A7V8X-X, thats explain my struggle back in the day and my atruggle nowadays.

Edit2: i'm thinking of using one Quadro FX3000 or one Geforce FX5500.

How much RAM is in your system? I had issues with old radeon drivers BSODing with more than 256mb of RAM. This was in Win2k SP4 on an ALI Alladin V though. Might be a quick thing to try regardless.

actually i have 512 installed.
Using 256 on a XP machine is kind of pointless, i will leave as it is, i recapped one M2N-X and built a nice XP rig.
but thank you for the answer
