Cat 6.6 does not support the 8500. As you stated john, the OP should revert
to an earlier driver (6.5 or earlier). Be sure to remove the existing
driver before installing new.

When I looked it up ATI says use
Catalyst 6.6
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27

But if that won't work you might try an older version
Like Catalyst 5.12 available on their website

The above is drivers for
Windows XP
ATI AIW Radeon
