Ati 3.3 OEM driver need help!!!!

I just bought a new Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb card, and I have this problem with Counter Strike game. Whenever I alt tab out of game and try to go back in, I got a black screen and it just freezes. So I have to restart my computer.
I didnt have this probem with my old Geforce 4 Ti 4600 card, so anyone else who has Radeon 9800 card and have this problem? or anyone know how to fix this problem?
I have installed the latest driver from Ati which is Catalyst 3.2. And I know this site has the 3.3 Oem version, I downloaded it but I couldn't install it, it keeps saying INF error Driver not found, anyone else can help me? thx.

u do realize that those drivers aren't actually real right? even ATI said they weren't real. go back to the 3.2's and wait till the 3.3's come out.

I can never believe that people ask these questions when they use crazy hacked drivers and/or overclock the crap out of their systems.

Your card is soo new, the cat3.3s will be the only drivers that truely use its full potential. Use the 3.2s until the 3.3s are out.

The 3.3s are hacked from Dell, it was news on warp afew days ago!

Ok slow down, folks. The Dell drivers are not hacked and they are not faked. All there is to it is that they are not Catalyst 3.3. The dell drivers are beta and even Dell support does not really know why they were posted on their FTP.

Anyway the official Catalyst 3.3 drivers will be out in a timeframe of two weeks according to my press contact at ATI Canada.

Stay with the Cat 3.2 as long as they are not released.

:evil:

The "dell" 3.3 drivers need to be forced through the device manager

then you will have no inf error messages. personally I would wait for the

next lot of drivers to come out, which now look like being 3.4 not 3.3 in

midMay. Just stick with 3.2. or if you want somthing different try the ATI

POWERPACK neutral catylist suite. Although it is about 21mb. People

asking for the 3.1 drivers get them off ATI's main site in archive driver

section.

Did you mean the old 3.1 catalyst from the ATI main site? Or did you mean the 3.3 3rd party beta driver that's posted on warp, rage etc.

If you mean't the old 3.1 you shouldn't have to force that through the device manager, it's an official ATI driver and as long as you have uninstalled ALL elements of the previous driver it will work fine.

The 3.3 is not an official catalyst driver and some people have had problems installing it. If you want to be really sure you have done everything you can to get it to work, it's best start with a CLEAN INSTALL
That doesn't mean reinstalling the OS! If you send me an email I'll send you the step by step on a clean install and how to get the 3.3 working.

Just tell me what OS, what card the usual spec on your machine.

All drivers work better after a clean install. Big Grin
