Error running DX9 demo's from ATI's website....

I have a 9700 pro and I have catalyst 3.1 installed (happened with 3.0 too) and dx9 on my machine. I installed dx9 first and then the drivers. Then I install the demo's, some of them work but most don't. I can't get the car or the bear one to work. Every time I try to run them it changes resolutions, but remains black and then just switches back to the desktop with this error message in a log file:

[StartEnd.cpp] (line 103): ERROR! Globals.ati wrong version! Exiting.
[Text.cpp] (line 165): Error! Text shader pointer is NULL!
[Draw.cpp] (line 3629): Error! TextureTrans shader pointer is NULL!
[Main.cpp] (line 659): Normal Application Exit

I've reformatted a couple times and every piece of software has been updated so I can't figure out what the problem is. I don't know what "globals.ati" is. Can anyone help??
Thank you.
