Latest ATi Drivers?? Issues?
KatEnigma:
Besides the old drivers, you may want to see if you can hunt down the ATI uninstall tool. They had it available one month, and I'm glad I saved the file, because I've had to dig it out 2 or 3 times when trying to install different drivers/catalyst because it didn't uninstall properly.
In fact, it's small enough that I'll compress and attach it here, just in case you need it.

i must be having a good karma day because I found this thread... ;D
My brother got a new video card and gave me his old one... ATI Radeon 9200 se
My old card is a Nvidia Geforce 5200
So I've installed the ATI now.. :-\ Thanks for the link jsalemi.. I'm going there next and thanks for the file katenigma I think I might need that soon..
I thought I read somewhere when the sims2 installs it create files specifically for your video card... Am i going to have to install again?? :P
I'm going to give it a try and see what happens...
Cons:
Scratch, let me know how the game does with the 9200SE.
Scratch:
There are definately some differences... The windows don't seem to work anymore... all the lots are dark inside the buildings... A couple of my sims look like thier faces exploded....
According to a few benchmark programs i have... the graphics are 25% faster but the game looks the same except the windows, the exploded faces, and a couple of bodymeshes aren't working, so i'm just going reinstall and see what happens....
ANM:
Just to bring you up to date on my issues. I received a new card (RMA) and it is working much better. The old card crashed under any kind of 3D load - not just Sims, so something was wrong. The new card is much better. It's not glitch free, but I'm to the point now where I can test different drivers. Has anyone used the Omega Drivers with this card?
