Nothing beats the buzz....

of adrenaline when you go to update all your video drivers in anticipation of HL2, only to find that you've inadvertant done something that makes the new drivers impossible to install.

Thank god for Omega!

I usually stick to the theory of "if it isn't broken, don't fix it"

I should have, too..

My wife's comment: "When the hell will you learn?"

Heheh - oops....

Ok, what's the difference between Omega drivers and just plain drivers? Where can I get them also? I have ATI graphics card.

Let me guess... catalyst v4.11?

I was going after the 4.12betas.

I uninstalled, rebooted into safe mode, ran a driver cleaner, rebooted into regular, then tried to install the Catalyst drivers.

I got an "Error number: 0x80040707" and a failed install of ATICIM.dll or something like that.

I had to extract the Omegas (which, BTW, are "tweaked" drivers, done aftermarket), and install them manually. The install of the Catalysts STILL fails. Not sure what to do about that one...
