Radeon 9250
I have an ATI Radeon 9250 in my Dell Dimension 4600C and it causes a blue
screen crash every time I shutdown or use switch user. The performance information and tools app tells me that the 3D business and gaming graphics performance is 1.0 which seems oddly low for that graphics card. dxdiag tells me that DirectDraw, Direct3D, and AGP Texture Acceleration is enabled I'm running Battle for Middle Earth II without any problems. Question 1: When will there be an updated or better driver? Question 2: Will the ATI Vista RC1 beta driver support Radeon 9250? Tete

Radeon 9250
wont be supported because it is not Aero comaptible ( no DX9c in Hardware )
You can go with that card Aero-Basic and use Generic VGA drivers, that should stop the BSODs. But gaming or MovieMaker and things like this is a no-go with thath card. I had such a card two years ago and they really suck.Drivers are a mess, not only in Windows, also in Linux. I switched to Nvidia, far better 3D performances, support for all OS and even cheaper than Ati. Nvidia GeForce 5200 is the cheapest Aero-compatible card you can get in the world.
