Yar...  I do know to uninstall my video drivers every time...    I'll try what max has told me to do...

Ooogly, Condor made a point I forgot about. It's a good practice to rid your system of old drivers when adding new ones. Here's a link from guru3d.com for an application to that purpose:http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=driversweeper

Note: I've never used the program but guru3d is accepted as a trusted source.
Read up all disclaimers and "read me's" before using.

If that doesn't pan out, PM me. I have one other suggestion but you're best trying what I've already suggested, first. Best of luck.

Agreed. The BSOD is only caused by device drivers. Apparently Ooogly, when you initially "updated" your video driver which precipitated this problem it was not the right driver for your video card or the new driver  was defective.

I would...

Go into SafeMode,

Uninstall that cursed video driver then...

Then... install a newly downloaded one which you saved to a folder you can find.

Do not allow the system to search for it, rather chose to specifically select the driver you want installed from the directory/folder in which you saved it.

You will select the drivername.ini file which is not actually the driver itself rather a type of script which points to the actual driver file.

Then... reboot in normal mode if successful.

Sometimes people get  caught in driver hell by allowing the system to automatically search for the driver which often winds up trying to install the same bad driver over and over again, regardless of the newly downloaded driver.

I've been to driver hell; its not a pleasant place.

Hope this helps you!

This guy does wonders with the ATI drivers ... and you don't have to uninstall your current ATI drivers.

You DO have to uninstall the ATI Control Center before installing his drivers and that is simple enough.

Open up Windows control panel > Display and check your screen resolution. Try a setting of 1024 x 768 and see if that solves the "evrything's tiny" problem.

Did you clean the drivers as Tigress suggested (in SAFE MODE) prior to installing new drivers?
