"NO SUPPORT" on my monitor.

Have installed Radeon x1550 PCI-E graphics card on XP but can't get resolution above 680 - 800.
Driver won't go in unless I get a permanent message on my screen "NO SUPPORT !" when I reboot. Also, the scrolling is very slow for a 512Mb card.
Pc slowed down to a crawl.
This happened with my 256Mb Radeon x550 too. It worked fine the first time I installed it but then a year on this message came on the screen NO SUPPORT, and the only way I could run would be to disable the driver in control panel. That's why I bought the upgrade to 512Mb radeon thinking that it would solve the problem but the same thing occurred. Have NO SUPPORT unless driver disabled. I would be very obliged if you could help. Somebody mentioned it being a cheap card, but 90 good old British pounds ain't cheap to me.
Does anyone have any idea what I should do?
My motherboard is a Gigabyte Nforce 4SLI K8Tritonwith AMD 64 chip.
 
First off, the memory size on the card has nothing to do with the scrolling capabilities. If it's slow, you obviously don't have the drivers loaded.

I sounds like something's simply wrong with your monitor. Assuming it's not so old it simply can not handle high resolutions, try going to display properties > settings > advanced > monitor > and lower your Screen Refresh rate. Hopfully this setting will hold as you bump the resolution up.
 
First I disagree with The_Other_One the scrolling problem is probably because of a refresh rate that is too low, try to raise it to 75mhz.

Heres what I would suggest goto Device Manager and open up the monitors tab right click on your monitor and select update driver select "No not at this time" and then next then click the advanced circle and hit next the choose Don't search all the way on the bottom. hit next uncheck show compatible hardware goto "(standard monitor types)" and select a 800x600 resolution rate (though my resolution is set at the same as 1080p). Then goto display properties after the new driver has take effect, uncheck hide modes my monitor doesn't support and raise the refresh rate to 75mhz. This all assumes that your montior has been this way before, if your monitor can't handle the resolution then your screen will say out of range or you'll have to use your mouse to move back and forth and won't be able to see everything at once. If the refresh rate works but its too high for your monitor your going to ruin it.
 
Many thanks for your reply. I have looked in the device manager and the monitor is not even listed yet it was the other day. Perhaps I should format and start all over again. What do you think?
Oh, by the way, my monitor is a 19" flat screen tft, not 6 months old. Cibox monitor.

I think you should goto display properties, click settings tab then advanced, then monitor then properties then driver then update driver then do whats above, if you can access anything in windows it knows you have a monitor.
 
Hi Balask. Just changed monitor to an ordinary 19" monitor and everything has just speeded up. fast scrolls and fast PC. No "NO SUPPORT" on screen and I enabled the graphics cards before I changed. So it must be something to do with the flat screen. I can't find any reference to the refresh rate you talk about in device manager. Where is it? Because I would like to use my flat screen if I can, because space is a problem.
 
Hi Balask. I have now sorted the problem. The monitor was ruuning at 85Mz so I dropped it 75Mz and everything is running as it should. Many, many thanks for your help. I owe you one.
