To solve this i tried chaging it to D3D but it just crashes completely when i connect. ive tried changing resolution and that doesnt work. it workd when i had a TNT2 Ultra graphcs card and Win98SE but it wont work now ive got: WinXP SP2 and an ATI Sapphire Radeon 9600 pro advantage ddr dvi card.

Any ideas???

thanks in advance

I also had something simular a few days ago. I didn't have a clue so we payed a guy to fix it.
He said that the problem was an incompatibality of some hardware (my keyboard/mouse weren't compatible with my graphic tablet).
Hope this helps.
