Radeon HD 4350 not reconized by Windows
I have a 32-bit system currently set up, a Sony Vaio VGC-RA820G. My friend recently gave me a Radeon HD 4350 video card to put in it. It has a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 HT and 3GB of RAM. The PSU is 350w which should be more then enough for the 4350 as my friend used it with a 300w on a much more power hungry system (Quad core with 4GB). The video card currently in it, A Radeon X300 works just fine with the system. There is NO on-board display adapter and the bios and CPU-Z see the 4350 just fine. Windows does not list the card as anything in the device manager, not even as a standard video card, though video works on the card but the FPS is choppy and no support is given for DirectX or OpenGL. I know the card is not dead, though I am unsure why Windows doesn't recognize it as any video card at all. Any help is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I have tried multiple installs of the official drivers form ATI and they recognize the card and install, but Windows doesn't use the drivers, it uses generic ones and because the card is not listed in device manager, I can't change them.
