dude if you do find out let me know. I tried to make that work a while back and quite after two days of frustration. Seriously if you find a way to make it work let me know.

I think ATI might have a universal driver for all their cards... go to their site.
You can find out what graphics card you have by running the app /applications/utilities/system profiler. I think.
ATI's drivers might not even work if the card is ATI but it might be worth a try.

ATI's site will tell you... at least, it should. I have only ever had nvidia cards so I'm not sure what the procedure is with ATI.
I've heard their drivers are difficult to use though, so good luck...

how are you running windows? Are you booted into windows or are you running it through OS X with parallels? You're going to have to boot into windows to get it to work.
