ATI driver problem

[CSA]

im trying to install 'display drivers only' , they install fine but whehn i restart the pc windows is asking for drivers like none have been installed ? in device manager the graphic card comes up as a unknown device , ive tried reinstalling serveral times but it still does it, ive tried two different sets of drivers too , 6.8 and 6.7


ALSO........... when i try to set my monitor refresh rate too 100htz on desktop the resolution shrinks on the screen so theres a massive black border all the way around the screen , it never did this with nvidia drivers


ideas ?


edit: 1800xt on winxp sp2 btw

thats exactly what ive done dude before posting my problem here


edit: and adjusting screen size manually on the monitor doesnt fix it , even at 100% stretch the massive border is still there , i'll try installing the WDM , ta

Try removing your graphics card (cleaning PCI-Express slot and card by blowing or compressed air) and plugging it back in (Double check it's sat in the slot correctly) Have you upgraded your graphics card recently from nVidia to Ati? Maybe some nVidia drivers are remaining? If so, run drivercleaner to remove nVidia graphics card drivers

brand new card and mobo so i highly dount its dirty, its running fine with with CCC drivers installed so i imagine the cards slotted fine and i formatted before installing new card and mobo

its probably trhe wdm drivers as Ulfhedjinn suggested, i'll post back when ive eaten

ok well it was the WDM driver , thanks Ulfhedjinn now i need to install either ATI tool or ATI tray but im not sure which one , i want to be able to adjust my cards fan speed so will both apps let me do that or does only ATI tools have that option ?
