Almost every game I play has some type of problem. In Unreal Tournament, the lights are like squares, and if I try to change my resolution it freezes. In battlefield 1942 demo the screen flickers all over the place, and it kicks me out of the game while loading the mission. I turned anisotropic filtering off and got into the map, but it rebooted my comptuer after like 10 seconds of playing. In wolfenstein, if I try to change the resolution, the screen gets all blurry. I got out and came back in and it was fine.

I am running Win 2K, using the 6193 drivers, and my desktop resolution is 1024x768. Can anyone help me?

Are you using the beta 7.77 drivers from ATI? look here, it solves a LOT of issues. It could be worse, I'm waiting on WinXPpro for my new system and only have a liscense for Win98SE, and talk about UNSTABLE(constant lock ups, reboots, etc.), the stupid thing won't even detect agp 4x properly and won't even consider agp 8x, I don't have any problems running UT2k3 at all, and almost every game I have works perfectly I get taring in Q3, could be cause I'm getting fps in the range of 350-390 :). I put in support e-mail to EA about my BF1942 issues and they won't give me the time of day, and I have a registered full version of the game. Thier web site pretty much says wait for the 1.2 patch before the Radeon 9700 Pro will function properly. ETA on that is later this year or early next year. Really turning me off to EA games, buy a new game and 3-5 months later you finally get to play it after installing patches, how lame is that? First one I ever bought from them for PC, but I have several on my trusty old 16-bit nintendo.
