Ok here's the thing. About three weeks ago I was running the 7.9 drivers for my ATI RADEON X300. I know it's a shit card but I've never had trouble with it before. So I bought Call of Duty and it wasn't running properly so I updated the drivers and that still didn't do anything. So I uninstalled all of my drivers and then tried, and it ran smoothly but I got the blue screen of death every few minutes when i tried playing. So then i realised that the newest drivers weren't working but the old ones would so I downloaded drivers 6.8 and I could play Call of DUty no problem. But for other games like COunter strike it wasn't working properly so i updated to the newly released 7.11 drivers hoping for a better result from the 7 series of drivers. All my games run shit with this driver. So now I've downgraded to 7.9 driver and I can play everything except COD which I don't really like just fine. The thing is when i play CS i run a different res in game. So when i come out of the game my res is less that what it usually is on my desktop. Usually it would just change itself back to the way it was, but it's been acting up and not changing back when i exit the game and it's annoying having to change it all the time. Annyone now of a way I can fix this and is anyone else having trouble with ATI drivers?
My 9600 has been slow too, but I'm not sure it's the drivers. I'll check when I get back home.
Have you tried tweaked drivers?

They also have previous driver versions.

I had heard about the faulty 7.10 drivers, but I thought the 7.11 were supposed to fix that.
I'd say just roll back to whatever drivers work best and wait for them to get a fix on it. It sucks big time, but I don't know if there's much else you can do

I've always like ATI cards but have never had much success updating drivers, especially catalyst.
