I've tried both, but I can't even get that far because the card doesn't appear in the device manager (in safe mode or otherwise).  That's also why I can't install the drivers from the setup program.  I have yet to see anything ATI related in windows when the AVGA is plugged in.  It's like it doesn't even know it's there and XP falls back to this 'VGA service'.

Can you take a screenshot or photo with Device Manager open?  Expand Other Devices and the Display Adapters.

Not easily as I've begun exploring using Soft15khz with an ATI 9600XT I had lying around.  I can tell you that there was no 'display adapters' tree item, nor were there any problem devices with an exclamation under 'other'.  The only problem device was that AGP bridge I mentioned when I disabled the agp440 service.

Its quite common for the ArcadeVGA card to require the procedure on our web page www.ultimarc.com/avgainst.html under the heading "Forcing a Windows Driver Install" to be used.
This needs to be tried, but I am not sure that there might be another problem with that agp440.sys file. Thats not an ATI driver, it is something to do with the AGP slot on the motherboard.
This is best resolved via email.

Thanks Andy.

I doubt that the problem lies with agp440.sys, If you watch another pc boot it stops at that file like the screen is just not scrolling, and then boots right up.  

We had a pc hanging like this at work a while ago and we all thought it was this file.  Turns out it was some bad ram and nothing to do with the file at all.  I googled it for three days before I  started to put two and two together.  

Follow andy's instructions and get back to us. If that fails, there is some conflict we havn't found yet.
