2000 is still supported. Still, I was surprised to see Windows 9x
support dropped so suddenly.
 
If that's the only fix there's no reason to go through the usual ATI
driver upgrade hassle.

I use Omegas version (www.omegacorner.com) and all that's involved
with upgrading is double clicking the new .exe file and reboot.
Pretty hassle free if you ask me. You might want to check them out.
New drivers are put out a week or so after the official ATI's hit.
Remember every MONTH we will see new drivers. Using Omegas makes it
simpler to update and have an added benefit of higher image quality in
most games. YMMV

totally agree. the Omegas are great drivers and I've never had to clean out
the old cats.

I don't do anything special when updating the normal Catalysts, no problems.

Should I wait for (and install) the Omega drivers before installing
corresponding (new?) DVD driver and the new MMC?

I don't have an AIW card so I couldn't comment on how to do this.

the old cat drivers aren't removed from my hdd though, the folder remains in
my program files folder, and the entry is also in the remove programs
control panel applet.
 
Try it on my system using a Radeon and a Xpert98 for dual monitors.

ATI's install basically refuses to run stating 'No suitable ...' and in the
process wipes out the current working WDM capture and other misc. bs.

Too f'ing stupid to look past the card on the PCI bus to even notice the
Radeon on the agp bus.

Next time I'm prepared to redo whole system, I plan on checking out the
Omega's just to see if they're any smarteer in that aspect. Plain irritating
9to say the least) to have to physically remove the 2nd card just to update
shit on the first.

P.S. and as the 2nd card is ATI also, it's install wants to undo everything
the Radeon's install did, have to manually check and replace things to have
it work more or less as expected. It's wearing pretty thin.
