    You may need if you have not done so already, to install Microsoft .Net 1.1 and .Net 2 as the problem may lie in that software scan picking up that you are using the older Catalyst Control Center which is installed in lieu of the latest one of version 6.5.


    The rest of the driver data is the currect versions.

    A trip to windows update should give you .Net updates, if not then

    .Net 1.1 Sp1

    .Net 2.0

    You may also consider reverting back to an older driver, although maybe counter-intuitive/oxymoronic, you have a dated card (as do I in PC1) and the newer drivers are aimed towards the the newer cards capacities (which far surpass any potential of my card) and thus are either pointless/useless or non-effective and can and do actually cause greater issues rather than increase performance. You can't put a uea beaut fuel injection system on a 1964 Vauxhall but it just doesn't work!

    The best driver I have personally found for this card is:

    The most important component of new driver installation is removing the old drivers properly. You must use Drive Cleaner Pro!!!!!!!!! Read the help file, keep the reg clean.
