and don't even bother with the bloated Catalyst app to tweak the settings.
If you download just the driver package from ATI's site, you can dispense with the Control Center and use the old Control Panel instead. I believe the last driver set that included the Control Panel was 5.11, which appears to be no longer available from ATI, but you could always pull the file off an older installation CD or download it here. Note that if using the Control Panel you may give up some more recent driver features for the X1K series boards, such as ATI's driver-based overclocking utility.
In any event, I am using the 5.11 Control Panel with the 7.1 driver set to run an X800GTO, and have had no problems.
ANM:
I'm also having HUGE ATI driver problems. Just got a new system and it has the ATI x1950 PRO. I'm going to give the Omega drivers a shot, but if anyone is running this card and can post what is working for them - the specific driver and whether or now you're running Catalyst Control Center (and which version of that) would be greatly appreciated.
- To be more specific about my problem - The game crashes during the video at the start. The screen freezes, the audio continues for a few, the screen goes black, the audio jams, and the system requires reset/reboot.
I'm currently running 7.2 from 2/21/2007

What's your OS, ANM? Vista?
I'm using the ATI Driver Version 6.14.10.6635, CATALYST® Version 06.9 on an X850XT; a few months old but works very well. XP SP2, though.
Cons:
ANM
Assuming this is a desktop machine, there was a problem with ATI drivers doing just what you describe
with the old 6.2 Catalyist Drives and WIN98.
PROBLEM: When running with the 6.2 catalyst drivers on Windows 98, the game will freeze on loading.
CARDS: Radeon 9200
Restoring your system to 5.9 Catalyst drivers should resolve the issue
That being said, if this is Vista it's possible that the old problem has resurfaced with the New OS and the latest drivers. Keep in mind Vista wasn't out yet when EA was developing this game.
ANM:
I'm NOT running Vista (sorry for the confusion) I'm running XP Pro SP2 (on a desktop) I will try the drivers and ccc you mentioned ZiggyDoodle.
