Hi,
To play Ah i had to install catalyst 4.12 drivers, since all the others don't work well with my 9200 radeon vid card.
Now, i have a certain game that i want to play, but only supports later drivers.
Changing drivers is a pita, and i am looking for a way to do it more quickly, i want to play both games, but if i play one i can't play the other.
So is there a method or a program that will quickly allow me to change drivers, with no need to un-install old ones first, then install new ones (slow process) etc.

There is only one way I know of to do what you want and that's to install a 2nd HD, or partition your current HD and dual boot 2 versions of Windows XP.
That's what I used to do on my old computer. One was a completely stripped down version for AH, the other was "fully loaded" for all other uses.

Hehe but it would be easier for me to just buy a new vid card then eh?

Perhaps there is a driver set that works in both?
What game is it that only accepts the latest ATI drivers? That's very strange, as most games can't check the drivers, and most don't have any say on which drivers are installed. They just send instructions to the cards, the drivers interpret them. Rather strange that it wants "driver X"

This game does not prevent you from playing on this drivers, just that you get a black screen instead of the game running.
And i read in the help files that the older drivers are causing this on 9x00s.
