whats up fellers... im in need of a little assistance here or else im just gonna buy a diff chipset video card.

i recently bought a refurb matrox g450 dual head agp video card from computergeeks.com for a real sweet price, and im trying to get it to work in a system im building for a friend who does mainly just photoshop type stuff..

well im running into some problems and im havin some issues narrowing it down.
heres my system as of right now
Abit kr7a
athlon 2000xp
2x 256mb crucial pc2100
quantum fireball 20gb with win2k on it
and an smc 10/100 network card

the machine works great, until i install the matrox drivers for the card, ive tried a few diff versions of the driver with the same results...

i get some weird little black squares that show up, strange diagonal white lines at the top of the screen and then an eventual lock up.

anyone have any ideas?
