Download and install latest DirectX fist:
www.microsoft.com/directx/

Then get to correct drivers:
Which can be found here:
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27

For the drivers, you also need .NET Framework apparently.. get that too.


If you then still get blue screens of death..
Then go to you Config screen -> System Management -> Logs
and find any related errors, then google for the solutions.

Hope it helps

if its a mobile gfx on a labtop you might not be able to use ATI's drivers but you will need to find drivers form the producer of your labtop.. if those drivers are outdated you can mod new drivers from ati to work on labtops...

You could also try the Omega drivers too . They're a third party set of drivers for ATI cards that are 100% compatible - even with mobile devices.

I pesonally do not use them as I've never had cause BUT a few of my friends from DAoC swear by them and never use ATI's own drivers.
