has anyone else had problems with the new catalyst 5.4 drivers? i recently installed them, and on occasion my computer boots in 400x600, and when i got to display properties, it doesn't list my radeon 9800pro. also when i reboot, it gives me a message saying that the power cord to the radeon isn't connected. i've checked to make sure it is, and there doesn't seem to be anything out of place. 2.8c 800mhz fsb 1 gb 512x2 geil dual channel asus p4p800 se 60 gb ibm 7200 rpm 80 gb maxtor 7200 thermaltake va3000 sapphire 9800 pro 128mb

Instructions: Installing a new driver is only recommended if you are having issues with your ATI product, including those mentioned in the "Fixed in this driver". For more details, please review the RELEASE NOTES. Notes: This driver requires Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or higher to be installed Were you having one of the problems that this release fixed? If not you should not update it. There is almost always a down side to a new driver release. The items fixed is an example. I'm sure most of those items weren't a problem until 5.3 was released.

i was just installing for the sake of installing. but thanks for the advice, i guess i won't install new drivers unless i need to. 2.8c 800mhz fsb 1 gb 512x2 geil dual channel asus p4p800 se 60 gb ibm 7200 rpm 80 gb maxtor 7200 thermaltake va3000 sapphire 9800 pro 128mb
