Scooter,
You did it! It's important to uninstall, for some reason. I wonder why the
installer doesn't just go ahead and do it automatically, since it's so
critical. It asks the user what he wants to do. Most have no clue as to
what the proper procedure is. Go figure.
Reducing resolution to standard VGA (640 X 480) has also always been
critical, but you managed to get the job done at 800 X 600, not standard VGA.
Could ATI have changed the procedure in this regard? Anyone know? If they
did, all the better. It's sure hard to see the buttons on the bottom of the
screen at 640 X 480. I've pulled my hair out many time over that problem.
You have to click on something which is outside the screen! Go figure!
Job well done,
