Radeon X850 PRO not supported?

Catalyst 5.10, XP SP2

from WinCustomize Forums
I used to have a Radeon 9200, which supported everything WB5 and WFX 2 needed. I upgraded to the X850 PRO, and now neither are supported.

Windowblinds:
WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:

STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

This is because :

Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha. WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor. Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware. Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature. Onboard graphics tend not to.

You have one monitor in total.

(Plug and Play Monitor) 1 is attached to RADEON X850 Series

WindowFX says I don't have support for constant Alphablending or Per Pixel.

I have XP SP2 w/ all patches, Radeon X850 AGP, Catalyst 5.10, and Plug and Play Monitor.

TIA

I can tell you for certain that an x850 should work - the problem is somewhere else. Where, I wish I could tell you.

I would install the Cat 5.12s and see if that helps.
