Hey, I just got a ATI x1900xtx last week. It's watercooled and all. I installed a slipstreamed version of windows that came with something called AeroGlass. It was pre-installed with graphics drivers, but they're old.

When I went to ATI's site to download the latest and installed them, after I rebooted.. my grpahics resolution and bit changed to the lowest. It's all weird colors now and very big. I reverted to original drivers, and it works on the old ones again. But again.. they're old.

Is there any way to find out what's wrong or what's causing it not to install? I installed my latest motherboard chipset drivers and everything for everything else.


Thanks alot.

ps: here's what it says the version of windows comes with. It's windows pro slipstreamed with aeroglass and these features.

Did you completely uninstall the previous drivers? Boot in safe mode and run Drive Cleaner Pro?

Vista on one drive(100gb), xp on the other(500). It's 2 drives in Raid0 partitioned.

But the xp was slipstreamed with a modified version of AeroGlass.

But its fixed now. I just need to figure out which drivers will work best.
