1. standard vga thing is default drivers of the operating system.
2. if it is saying you've to install standard vga thingy first, then enter safe mode, uninstall all ati stuff you have in your os, including all drivers.
3.reboot to normal, again do cleanup of vga drivers, then xp will say it found a new vga card and it is installing "standard vga thingy" :-)
4. then install drivers from your ati cd which came with card.
5. if this doesn't work, best way is to reinstall xp and start from scratch.
