best driver to use w/mx200

CDsDontBurn · Aug 20, 2005, 09:05 AM

hey guys, for those of you who don't know, i recently made the move back to ATI (i sold my 6800GT). In the meantime while i wait for my x800, i'm running a GF mx200 gfx card. I tried the latest official drivers (77.72s) and the 80.40 betas. Now my problem w/these drivers is that when i boot into windows, my screen goes black for about 5min. and then my system just reboots after wards. The way i got around this was by uninstalling the drivers in safe mode and now i can boot into windows just fine. But the real question is, do any of you guys know what are the best drivers that won't cause that black out screen/reboot issue to use w/this POS card until i get my new card?

doesn't matter any more. I got my x800xt pe installed w/the CAT 5.8s running

. The drivers that i had running were the 52.05s. It still didn't solve my problem though. No worries though, i'm not running that card anymore.
