I have an ATI Radion 7000 video card as my second card, and can't seem to get Vista to recognize it. I checked on the ATI web site and downloaded the Catalyst Center - but this doesn't appear to have helped. Does anyone else have this card working with Vista?
Thanks.

It is supported with built in drivers in Vista. It doesn't support Aero Glass. I haven't tried tried it as a second card. Installing the ATI drivers may have messed something up. I have used it as a single card with no problems.

Many thanks for your reply. Well..heck...if it doesn't support Aero....then out it goes! Actually, since my other one does support Aero, I'm thinking that the computer would be really confused if it was simultaneously running one Aero and a non-Aero card.
Also, I use and love UltraMon, which, I don't know if Vista will make that program obsolete, but they are only getting started on their Vista version.
Best wishes, CB.

I replaced it with a Radeon 9550. The computer runs much faster even with Aero Glass enabled.The 7000 was obviouslya bottle neck.
