    It's nothing, zipperman just thought you needed help installing a game or something.

    If all is perfectly well then you don't have to keep replying.

    Just 1 more thing

    Do a DXdiag video test.
    See if all in display test are enabled.

    ummmm i think something is wrong again sorry.

    The file atidxx32.dll,atidxx64,atiumdag.dll,atiumdva.dat,atiumd64,atiumd6a,atitmm64 is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer. this is what it says in the Display tab in the DirectX Diagnostic tool. I copied and pasted that

    It's nothing, don't worry about it, it's just that Vista doesn't know if the driver is recommended by microsoft. I even get that sometimes. Lots of hardware isn't digitally signed. It's nothing serious. Vista is just paranoid.

    Hmm...O right the dxdiag panel must be different in Vista. Well, how else can we tell if it works...
    Is your computer less laggy after installing the drivers? Can you switch resoultions?

    From the looks of the picture you have vista aero and transparency on which means the video card is probably functioning correctly.
