Hello. Windows Vista misidentifies my Club 3D Radeon X800 SE as X800 GTO. As a result Windows Aero is disabled, in dxdiag.exe DirectDraw acceleration and AGP Texture acceleration are greyed-out and I can't play Call of Duty 2 which gives me a DirectX error: "DirectX has encountered an unrecoverable error. Please check DirectX Help document for possible details"..
I tried installing ATI Catalyst 7.2 drivers. I chose drivers from the list and tried to install the card as X800 SE or X800 Series, but that had no effect. In ATI Catalyst Center there are no options.
Any ideas?

Normally, that would be a good thing because the GTO is a much better card than the SE ("Sh!tty Edition"). However, either card should be capable of running Aero. Double check all your settings.
