Help with ATI Radeon 7000 64MB !

Guys, I currently own a ATI Radeon 7000 64MB DDR and i was wondering what are the best drivers for it? Im runnig the latest ones right now but when the computer starts this all weird black screen with a bunch of fuzzy colors shows up before i can see my desktop. What do you think that could be causing this problem? Another question is the settings under Display Properties, is there any mods i should do to bring up the performance of the card or should i just leave the default settings?
Thanks for your attention!

 

do you have any graphical anomolies or artifacting on your screen when you are in windows?

 

No...just at the beggining!
I really don't know what's going on...
Another thing is that the card also gave mine start menu a little lag wich i didn't used to have when i used the Intel chip.

 

I have been trying to get my ATI AIW Radeon 32meg AGP going, and according to ATI, I need to uninstall my drivers and put them in a certain order. I thought I had done that, but I guess it might be worth a try to go through it again. Here is the order:

ATI WDM Rage Theatre Audio
ATI WDM Rage Theatre Video
ATI WDM Specialized PCD Codec
ATI WDM TV Audio Crossbar
ATI WDM TV Tuner
ATI WDM Specialize MVD Codec

My problem is posted here, so I won't go into it. I have not had your problem, but maybe you can reinstall too. Good Luck!

You should try some other driver.
As for the delay, open Regedit, navigate to HKEY CURRENT USER > Control panel >Desktop. When you click on the "Desktop" entry you should see a line in the right hand pane saying MenuShowDelay. Decreasing the value speeds up the opening of the Start menu(s).

 

What version of DirectX do you have installed? I used to have similar problems when I hadn't updated DirectX to the required level after a Ati driver update.
