Lost of 3D and AGP Texture Accelerations after installation of modded drivers

I've installed the modded driver last night (I used the Catalyst 8.2) following the instructions provided to the letter. The installation went off without a hitch and I tried using the "Click to DVD" and "Roxio MyDVD" applications but both failed to run. The error message for both applications was basically that my graphics card isn't up to the task (which it was BEFORE I installed the modded driver). I ran the DirectX Diagnostic Tool and it surprised me that I seemed to have lost the Direct 3D Acceleration and AGP Texture Acceleration capabilities of the card. I can't even use the 3D Hardware Acceleration option of the game Zume Deluxe! I have this notion of re-installing DirectX 9.0.c in the hopes (however slim) that this might do the trick.

What should I do now? Also, must I really use the entire Catalyst package (DD and CCC) or just download and use the display drivers? I noticed in the ATI downloads page that the DD and CCC files can be downloaded separately.

I thank you guys for the all the hard work and effort to help noobs like myself find solution/s to our problems.
