I just got a 9600xt, which is a sweet card and I'm glad I got it...I'm not a big pc gamer and it fits my system well. I have AMD 2500+, NF7-S & 512MB PC3200.

I formatted and installed XP with the 9600xt installed and everything worked fine. I installed ati's cool screensavers and they ran perfectly. I then installed XP SP1 and download SP2 updates.

My problem is, since then, when the screensaver comes on the graphics play real slow and are choppy, it also takes a few minutes to get back into Windows. If I view the videos by themselves they run fine, but when the system goes into screensaver mode, my 3d playback takes a huge hit. I thought that maybe there is a conflict with one of the windows updates but im not sure, I haven't uninstalled them.

Any ideas?

Thanks

EDIT: The problem has only occured after downloading SP2 updates. I installed those on separate days.
