Did you install the original drivers you recieved with the ATI? 

[trif]

initially, then i updated every few months with the catalyst thing. i rolled back to that driver with system restore

[saf-beagle]

The ATI Catalyst Control Center is actually very good.  You're best bet is to download the drivers ( or catalysts which ATI calls them ) only. If they're third party,  do yourself a favour: When you download ANYTHING, right click on it before you open and scan the file with your Antivirus!

drivers (catalyst) from there should be fine right? also how should i go about removing my current drivers before reinstalling new ones?

[saf-beagle]

Yes. ATI catalysts are WHQL certified. I right click and check everything I download...except the rootkit that led me to these forums and solved my problem 

Click on Start~ control panel~software. Allow windows a few moments to list your installed software.  Uninstall the CCC or recent ATI catalysts. I'm about 99% sure windows will set a restore point when you uninstall software. In which case you can do sys-restore should you run into any problems.

At any rate. Good luck & wish your Mom a happy mothers day ( in case you forget )!

it now seems to be working on that restore point, or at least it restarted ok once, so touch wood its gone away again, as far as new drivers, i think its a case of "if it aint broke dont fix it" hehe

[trif]

it stopped working again, now trying what you suggested regarding a new catalyst install.

this still worries me
