had been using nvidea for many years set to 1280 x 720 32 bit with no problems.
my hdd died, and for the cost of a new hdd the computer shop sold me a used bigger faster computer. with an ati 9200.
closest video setting are 1280 x 768 32 bit, a little to big. cant see the edges of my browser. any other settings tv won't reconize. anything i can do?

The ATI Radeon 9200 is a very old video card and likely doesn't support the resolutions of wide-screen LCD monitors.

It was designed when CRT monitors were the norm and wide-screen monitors didn't yet exist.

If I recall correctly, the ATI Catalyst 6.5 display driver(6.14.10.6614) is the most current one that's supported with Windows XP.

i've somewhat solved the problem by clicking the max button down on the browser then stretching it outwards, close the browser, reopen, stays. but can i use that driver with this card?

Here is a download link for the ATI Catalyst 6.5 (driver version 6.14.10.6614).

Before you download and save and install it, do the following first:

Right-click MY COMPUTER, then click Properties - Hardware - Device Manager.

Click the + in "Display Adapters".

Confirm the device is the ATI Radeon 9200.

If it is, click the "Driver" tab.

What's the current driver version?

theres two,
radeon 9200 pro family
radeon 9200 pro sec family
both same version

6.14.10.6462

You can try updating the ATI driver, but I don't believe it'll provide any additional resolutions for your wide-screen monitor.
