ATI drivers have traditionally been the weakest link to using ATI graphics cards.  Once I moved over to nVidia some years back, I have never purchased another ATI card willingly (iMacs tend to use these).  We're talking something like six or seven computers and probably twenty video cards over this time.  And I giggle every time the same problems arise with ATI drivers - because I was there, did that, moved on quickly.  ATI just can't compete with nVidia since the latter provides support for multiple-monitors (something ATI has only started to do recently!), 3D stereoscopics, and just has much better OpenGL support overall.

Do as svdl suggests or languish in everlasting pain! :D

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
