I am having problems using the omega drivers on my lcd acer montitor.

when i play doom 3 my screen keeps flikering, making the game unplayable.
when i play gish (a ball of tar game) the screenflashes to.
does omega drivers have problems with lcd monitors?

My system specs ARE

AMD 2600+ no oced
Nvidia FX5600xt->Nvidia fx5600
40gb hard drive

This is an educated guess - could be a refresh rate problem.

Can you set the refresh rate in your problem games to 60hz - try that if possible or within the Omegadriver settings, or both...

This may help too:

In Windows 2k/XP, ALWAYS disable DDC in the ATI "Displays/Monitor" CP after
installing drivers to be able to use ALL the refresh rates and resolutions
your monitor supports, also this is the best way to avoid the 60Hz RR bug.

This type problem didn't seem to me to apply to one brand of card or another, only in how you may need to change the settings (which I can't help with, being a Crucial ATI card owner, thus the drivers and settings setups are different) - I understand.

Let us know what happens - OK?
