Help wanted. I am having problems with my ATI drivers. Since I upgraded I've
had problems with the drivers giving me errors, pushing the monitor out of
range and having to restart. It get worse gradually until I do a complete
re-install of the drivers and then it's ok for another few weeks. Any ideas
whats causing this?

Thanks

Don't suppose you've got any nvidia drivers lurking on your system
perchance?
 
Full re-install (ie with a disk reformat) or repair re-install which may
have left traces of other drivers on there?

It was a full re-install with a format first.

I have, however, been ok so far today since I returned to "windows classic".
I don't know if this can corrupt the driver or whether it's a coincidence.
One other thing of note was the control panel stopped working and wouldn't
load after I had problems.
 
Sounds like your windows install is going. Its quite possible that because
of corruption that windows isn't shutting down properly and its only getting
worse over time. I think you should start over.
