Video drivers Radeon x1650 UV 64

I've had a real problem with the drivers for this unit. It's an ATI
card and very particular. I recently saw an optional upgrade on the
WIndows Update and when it installed the video was non operational.
Then I'd get the BSOD and a notice of video driver issue.

I have NEVER been able to get Catalyst to work at all...

WHat am I missing here? THe current driver is 8.471.0.0 version from
2/25/2008. But the latest one from their website causes the video to
go haywire.

Running Vista Ultimate 64....

Guess I shouldn't worry if it's working

Download and install the latest ATI drivers:
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_ca...common-vista64

Make sure to uninstall your current ATI drivers first.
