ATI should have several versions of prior drivers, you should just be able to walk back through them (PITA, I know). Avoid installing Catalyst if at all possible by choosing the Custom install, take Catalyst off and just check the driver back on.

I've had the same problem. I upgraded my vid driver tonight, and then it fizzed the screen, bumped to desktop and gave me an error message that the graphics driver was no longer communicating (thanks Catalyst). I uninstalled that one, reinstalled an older one, and it's been fine tonight.

Roll back? and don't use Catalyst...it suxeth.

What card do you have?....what driver did ya go to?

I went to ATI site, they only have older catalysts to download....how can I find an older driver thats compatible with my vieo card without downloading a catalyst?....I'm starting to feel like a pain in the butt now...lol. Thanks for your help!

I run catalyst 5.4 with Radeon 9000. u should be able to run it with 9550 without any problems too.
the video card should have came with the drivers too (cd), if not, follow the link below

https://support.ati....dge&folderID=27


click on drivers/software and u will find them all in there, and old ones are in "previous drivers and software"

are u sure its video card that ur having problems with? u know some games just use more power and memory and .... I would read Hyd's post again if I where u.

also, u might wanna check monitor too, few years ago i ended doing a complete upgrade after problems I had, finding in the end that it was just monitor that died
