I would leave new card in, update drivers, including chipset drivers, then GC driver.


BTW, not a tech type, just had my share of probs too.

If you cant boot into windows, boot into safemode and run driver cleaner with the 9550 installed.  Wipe out everything thats ATI, reboot and see what happens.  Most likely you should be able to boot into windows but everything will be big since it cant locate your video card drivers.  When it comes to using video cards that are 2 generations older you will probably run into a few issues while running the latest drivers.  I would recommend installing the last release of omega drivers (www.omegadrivers.net) since the latest ATI drivers do not offer any improvements for anything other then the X1k series of cards.  Hope this helps.
