I installed gart drivers per instalation instructions. Installed new card and new catalyst drivres. when i rebooted i gat and aplication error then a black srceen. i have to boot in safe mode and delete the catalyst control center, then i can use the pc with out it going to a black screen.

My graphics realy suck now. demo is playable but barely and other games like halo are unplayable.

Any ideas?
