    This might be too specific of a question but I'll give it a try in case any of you guys use a Radeon Graphic card.

    I have ATI Radeon HD 3850 AGP (R1910) Video Card for my computer and in the Catalyst Control Center there is tab to choose for ATI Overdrive but I cannot access the features because it is locked. Does anyone here know how I can unlock this window?

    Thanks

    This might help, and here's a guide from Tom's Hardware.

    I've heard that there are a few tools out there that are a lot better than ATI's Overdrive, so if you still can't get it to work, you might want to try RivaTuner.

    Let us know how it goes, and how fast you're able to get your card to go. :D

    Thanks for the links Kit. I'll show them to my husband although he actually figured how to get past the lock about 10 minutes after I posted this originally. Double click on the little lock icon :doh:

    As far as how fast he got it to go I'm not sure. He's the computer brain in my family - I just know how to work the graphics programs :D. I do know that he got the fans to make some interesting noises.
