Default ATI9600

I was having some anomalies, mostly sluggish. I proceded to back up
everything, which I got done. And then reinstall. Scandisk from startup disk
gave some message about wanting to copy table 2 over table 1 and I chose not
to. It made a royal mess of drive with an endless list of DIR's. Should I
have allowed the change? Obviously I could not have fared worse. Background,
this is a 160G PATA drive setup with Seagate utility in windows. That is
size limited and made 3 partitions.

Next problem. Video. After reconfiguring the drive by temporarily hooking it
to a minimum install of windows, that is limiting, partitioning, and
formating, I proceded with a fresh install. All goes well untill I try to
install the video drivers. Rebooting after the install produces sometimes
the error that Exlorer can not be found and I need to reinstall windows. If
I get past that, system locks with a msgsvr32 (not responding). I can get
into SAFE mode and uninstall video drivers and associated programs and is
OK.
I've ran the install several times with same result. Different versions of
drivers tried.
I've formatted and installed WME several times, the last few times with bare
minimum hardware. I've even tried not installing the rest of the MOBO CD
after installing just chipset drivers and not continuing with audio and I
end up with same result. I've searched ATI/AMD site for errors and no luck.

The only difference in the system hardware since installs in the past is the
monitor. Then it was an analog CRT. This is an analog/digital LCD. Even
tried swapping from digital back to analog.

Puzzled beyond comprehension.

Looking for opinions on the scandisk message and what might be going on with
my video??
I'm dumbfounded as to why I get the can't find explorer message aftter the
drivers are installed and rebooted.
