Unfortunately, you are experiencing the "Leadtek effect." You are using one of the
Leadtek WinFast Titanium 200 cards, and you have evidently installed the Leadtek
drivers, which messes up your Windows installation and prevents further installation
of drivers for PCI cards. I'm afraid the only solution I know of is to reinstall
Windows. I experienced this on Windows 2000 also. I sent the Leadtek card back
and am getting a VisionTek Xtasy 6564 instead.
For more information, read this thread:
