There is your problem. These should stay zipped. At least the MAME roms should stay zipped. I don't know about anything else.

The Catalyst drivers are the video card drivers, from ATI. You can get them here:
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeonx-xp.html
You can either download the full Catalyst Software Suite, or just the Display Driver. If you're unsure what you're doing with the drivers, just use the full suite. If you want more control, just download the display driver, and then get ATI Tray Tools. Loading just the display driver will leave out the Catalyst Control Centre, which is ATI's bloated control panel app. Since this will limit the things you can tweak, you then get ATI Tray Tools, which adds in a tray-based control panel with buttloads of options, many which are perfect for Mame users.

Thanks again, here is an update.
Removed the Radeon Card and drivers, installed the AVGA card, and moved to one of my Tri-sync monitors- the AVGA card is now up, but Mame is the same a "No Show"

I have a 9600 with 128M and run TW PGA 2007 with no problem, so I don't think it's the amount ot video RAM that you're lacking.
