Artefacts with Omegas

Hi guys

I really need your help...I have always used Omegas and everything was fine until I decided to set up user accounts in XP. Now, at login screen, I get massive color artefacts, usually for a second or two. From time to time they don't dissapear until reboot.

I tried vanilla Ati's 5.4 and several previous versions and none of them have this problem. Went back to 4.12 or 5.2 omegas - again, messed-up colors at Users login screen.

Did any of you have this problem? I really wanna go back to Omegas 4.12 but these crazy colors are freaking me out...

Got a screenoshot you can post showing them?

Also, have you tried right clicking on your desktop and selecting "refresh" to see if they disappear?

I gotta intall Omegas again to get a screenshot:-)

When I turn on the computer it goes thru BIOS screen (OK); loading Windows screen (OK) and then user login screen (that's where the problem starts). So the screen where you see "Welcome on the left and Users on the right" looks insane. All colors are totally messed up. It lasts for a sec or two(I guess some system file is still loading in the background). Sometimes however it stays, and when I log in and it shows my desktop it looks like crazy, say my desktop which is plain blue becomes bright yellow, white fonts are blue, sometimes there are also red and blue curves looking like a thick moire etc.

It's only with Omegas and it only started happening after i set up user accounts.
