ati demo lost focus

[justagamer]

hi.
I have a problem in that when i try run any of the ATi Directx9 demos (lava, dogs, gargoyle), my screen goes off, then after a while comes back on with a message saying "ati demo lost focus. click OK. Then restart the demo". when restarting the demo the same thing happens again. The thing is, this was working perfectly previously and only occurs when running the actual application, hence when i run it as a screensaver it works fine. anybody have the same prob or know of a solution??????

FYI.., i'm running a 9500np softmoded to 9700. This problem though, occurs when softmodded or not softmodded..........,

try reinstalling the drivers. FYI CAT 3.7 is out today!

Glasses might work ...na kidding

Try uninstalling the demos then install cats before reinstalling those demos
