We have had some people on 9800SEs unable to install drivers.

DOWNLOAD a driver and unpack to the ATI directory (C:\ATI\SUPPORT\wxp-w2k~~~~~~~~~"
after it unpacks and you get the BIG RED ATI install screen, and lisence, CANCEL THE INSTALL
Find the directory mentioned above and keep browsing (i.e Driver\2KXP_INF) till you find the INF file called
"CX_1073?.inf". This is for XP and the number vary depending on what you download
Open this INF file for EDITING. Notepad or whatever.
Find the [ATI.Mfg] section. Should look like this, < a REAL CATALYST inf is much longer. I have removed a bunch of lines>
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[ATI.Mfg]
"ALL-IN-WONDER 9000" = ati2mtag_RV250, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4966&SUBSYS_4F721002
"ALL-IN-WONDER 9000 - Secondary" = ati2mtag_RV250, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_496E&SUBSYS_4F731002
"ALL-IN-WONDER


"RADEON 9700 PRO - Secondary " = ati2mtag_R300, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4E64
"RADEON 9800 " = ati2mtag_R350, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4E49
"RADEON 9800 - Secondary " = ati2mtag_R350, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4E69
"RADEON 9800 PRO " = ati2mtag_R350, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4E48
"RADEON 9800 PRO - Secondary " = ati2mtag_R350, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4E68
"RADEON 9800 SE" = ati2mtag_R350, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4148
"RADEON 9800 SE - Secondary " = ati2mtag_R350, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4168
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You must ADD these lines to the INF file already added in the above example. (note the IDs 4148/4168)
"RADEON 9800 SE" = ati2mtag_R350, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4148
"RADEON 9800 SE - Secondary " = ati2mtag_R350, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4168

Then you save the INF file with the new IDs.
Finally you install the driver, either using the ATI setup also found in the root of C:\ATI\SUPPORT\ same as above. OR do an Update Driver, and you must browse to the directory.
The key points to remember are,
1- must have driver unpacked on Hard Disk so you can edit the INF file.
2- Editing the inf will invalidate digital signing, so the driver will show as not certified.
