Omega & Unian Driver problem

Hey guys, im new. Anyway my question is that I downloaded the latest version of the Omega drivers and it dosent seem to agree with my computer. For 1 it crashes when I play a video, 2 I get a problem code about an out dated file in Dxdiag. (I already have the latest Dx9.0c) Also when I test Direct3D accel, it other wise will show a super fast box spinning where I can not read the X or microsoft lable. Or it will not let me even test.

I know the driver is compatible with my Ati card. I run an HP laptop with an Igp 320m. oh ya I just reformatted my HD so its good as new. I also downloaded an older version of the Omega driver and I get the same thing. I also tried using the latest Unians Driver and I get an error on install. Inf not found or something like that. It also says something about the display needing to be at a VGA setting. Sorry, kinda vague im not on my laptop. I already uninstalled my original drivers, used driver cleaner etc. Any ideas? Currently I am running Catalyst 4.9 modded. (No problems in dxdiag)

Same with me when i had them installed. I didn't have any problems with drivers at all or no kind of crash anyway. I just assumed the super fast spinning cube was a result of the super charged modded drivers for performance. As for the outdated file, it might just be a warning message for the DXcontrol panel app which is not a problem.

How bout my video problem? Games work fine!! But when I play .avi or even Dvd's I get 1-4 sec of play and my whole computer crashes/freezes.

I also have no idea why Unian driver will not install?
