I've had this card running on the drivers which came with the cd for the last 3 months or so. After deciding it was time to upgrade them finally, I downloaded the latest omega drivers. They installed fine. That is, until I rebooted my computer to finalise the install process.
As soon as XP loaded, I was presented with an error box saying that there are no drivers present, so ATi control panel is going to close.
I installed after a fresh format/os installation, so no other drivers were installed.
Help, please?

The drivers that come with the CD are often pretty old, certainly much better to use the generic drivers from the chipset manu (ie ATI or nVidia, Omega too). It's most likely that you have o/c'ed your card, esp if you set it to use these settings at bootup. It seems that CATs newer than v3.4 send Windows into VGA fruitloop mode. Other than that it would most likely stem from not uninstalling the old ATI Control Panel and ATI Drivers before installing the new ones (as Ravens Nest says). There's a patch you can use thanks to malfunction to allow o/c'ing (see below), certified for CAT3.7 (and Omega based on 3.7) but malfunction found it's simple to get it going on the sparkly new 3.8. IMHO try the patch first and if still no good ensure everything is uninstalled (maybe roll-back and uninstall).
What's your setup Theo? Any new hw or sw changes recently? Does it work if you uninstall and then use the drivers via your CD?
