ATI Radeon 9500 pro wont play games

[DarkSunExE]

i got a radeon 9500 pro for my birthday a few weeks ago, and it was working fine with my soyo kt333 dragon ultra. and then for christmas i got a soyo kt600 dragon plus and amd athlon xp 2800+. my problem is, when i try to play a game, it doesn't load. like with wc3 i get a black screen. and with other games it doesn't even open. can anyone help me?

Hmmm.. Since your motherboards chipset is based on Via, did you install their 4 in 1 drivers (they are called Hyperion now or something similar) that includes the AGP drivers?.

Also, upgrade the video cards drivers in the Ati webpage and the DirectX version to # 9.
