Re: ati 9600xt - drivers

Open your device manager by right clicking 'My Computer' and clicking 'Properties' on the submenu.
In 'System Properties' choose 'Hardware' and click on 'Device Manager'.
Expand (click the plus sign) 'Display Adapters'.
Right Click your card and choose 'Properties'.
Click 'Driver tab. Click 'Driver Details' to see the manufacturer and version of the files installed.

Hope this will help in determining which software is used to run your graphics card

I can't find the "catalyst" drivers anywhere on my system! now, a couple of monthes ago my system crashed - had pc paramedics come to fix it & he had to reinstall everything. --- is it possible that he didn't reinstall the "catalyst softwear suite" ???
would the card work ok without it??? --- i'm worried that if i install it - it could mess everything up. --- any advice out there???

thanks
