Thanks to all for comments about the Omega drivers for Radeon.

I was surprised but disappointed that I can't install the Omega drivers on my machine. (Emphasis on the *I*...) I followed their instructions to the letter, including the subset of instructions Omega refers to in using Driver Cleaner.

Since my machine has OEM Dell-installed Windows-compliant drivers with ATI Control Panel, this included:

(0) physically disconnect from Internet ... check
(1) download & install latest version of Driver Cleaner ... check
(2) auto-update Driver Clearner ... check
(3) reboot, then Uninstall ATi Control Panel through Windows Add/Remove Programs ... check
(4) then Uninstall existing driver set through Windows Add/Remove Programs ... check
(5) use msconfig to reboot in SAFEBOOT mode ... check
(6) WinXP auto detects lack of drivers and auto-attempts installing them again ... yep, it did
(7) disable virus monitoring programs ... check
(8) run Cab Cleaner (a subfunction of Driver Cleaner) ... check, for both 'XP' and 'SP2' choices.
(9) run Driver Cleaner ... check, for all ATI choices
(10) empty Recycle Bin
(11) Reboot, and install Omega drivers

This resulted in a cacophony of errors, including 'Severe' error of INF Error, Video driver not found.

Anyone have ideas? Anything wrong with my steps above (which were taken verbatim from Driver Cleaner/Omega's instructions)???

Thanks in advance.
