I never thought a simple video driver would be such a hassel...lol.

lol same here. you know, i actually just did the EXACT same thing... i forgot to remove my current drivers before updating. it really does seem like your computer is totally uber****ed. i fixed it by plugging my monitor to the motherboard agp, then removing both driver instances, and re-installing my new ones. it was loads of fun.

yea a 'professional' would have helped...you know, giving 'professional' advice on how to 'professionaly' like a 'professional' install the drivers and 'professional' help. but you know...'professionals' are hard to find.


oh and by the way...i did uninstall the appropriate things...when reading the license agreement something or another said "do not reinstall the old drivers because some of MY settings will be erased" i thought that was a little fishy. but again, what do i know....im not a 'professional'.

i tried the link from Just_a_Nobody....when i went to download all it would say was "turn off popup blocker" which i dont have...then it redirects me to the ATI page (which has gotten me nowhere before) saying that it was a link "not within the ATI domain" soooo...cant download

Well you're on your own, do your own web search. That link worked fine for me, just had to click the yellow bar, at the top, and click on allow popup. If you have the Google toolbar, then you have a popup blocker.
