Can't install EN8400GS Silent

Hey guys I'm trying to install the Asus EN8400GS Silent on my Asus M2N-MXSE
PLUS board but it doesn't seem to work properly winxp pro detects the card
no problem installs the drivers but I have a max resolution of 640x480 at
4bit colour depth and it won't go any higher if I take the card out and use
the integrated graphics on the motherboard everything works fine.

Please help

When you go to Device Manager, and look at the video card, does it say
the driver loaded OK ? Check the properties and the list of driver
files. Do the driver files look like they're from Nvidia ?

If you want another tool to use, go to Start:Run and enter "dxdiag"
without the quotes. DXDiag is part of Microsoft DirectX. When it
runs, it collects info from your system. There is a "Save All Information"
button at the bottom of the window. Open the saved file, and you'll find
a list of driver files for the video card. That would be an easy way
to copy/paste what you find.

This is just part of the list for my old video card...

Name: RADEON 9800 PRO
Device ID: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4E48&SUBSYS_00021002&REV_00\4&102 AC5BC&0&00F0
Driver: C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\ati2mtag.sys, 6.14.0010.6606
Driver: C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\ati2erec.dll, 1.00.0000.0005
Driver: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ati2dvag.dll, 6.14.0010.6606

Maybe DXDiag won't run right now either, but give it a try and
see what you find.

still had same problem so i installed sp3 it fixed the problem.
