So I'm putting together a computer for my brother and I'm putting in a used radeon I got, but when I started up windows it auto installed it and there are two drivers, one is Radeon 9800 PRO (microsoft corportation) and the other is Radeon 9800 PRO SEC (microsoft corporation). Everytime i uninstall it it comes back and never gives me the chance to choose the driver to install. Is this right? What will happen happen if I just install the 4.12 cats I got?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

You see 2 devices because the radeon 9800 is a dual head card.

Another thing that you should do is when you restart your computer after uninstalling the drivers, disconnect from the internet so Windows doesn't automatically download drivers for you. When you boot up, install, restart, and connect to the internet again.
well, I did, we'll see how the system runs, I did have a few strange things happen to the pc since the format/install of xp sp2. Everything is new except the video card. The screen just went all crazy, everything was distorted and the system kinda froze, can't really describe it, something that would make you think the vid card is bad though, but I think that was before the driver update. Also, I never had windows install any drivers except for the vga compatible one when I would format/install my xp with my 6800GT.
