Don't download the newest videocard drivers if you plan on playing OP. For some reason, if you do, the only color you get is blue, so it is a bit difficult to play the game.

Someone might be well to do to upload the previous ATI drivers to this website...

I am using the latest Catalyst drivers with no ill effect...

Okay did further testing, on two different machines both running the newest Catalyst I have zero issues with OP. Works great...

What kind of card do you have?

Aye -- post what vid card and what catalyst driver your running--

I DL and installed a new catalyst about 3 weeks ago and it works fine.

My system is an X1800Xl with Catalyst 5.12 Now in fairness the newest drivers do more to help the newer cards compared to the older ones. It could well be that in a game as old as OP that an older card would do better with an older driver.

X700 Pro, currently running driver version 6.14. Don't use the Catalyst portion myself. The newest driver version was 6.3# something I don't remember, just got released a little bit ago.

Shot in the dark but did you DL the right version -- I belive there are different drivers now for embedded vid cards.. and for 64 bit issues as well.

Best suggestion is to go back to the ATI site -- re DL the driver or corrected driver - fully del the one you have -- reboot and reinstall --

Hope it works..

Get the ATI Driver removal tool to pull the old drivers. Then install Catalyst 5.12, this should work well for you..

Mine works fine also. I'm using a 7000 on 1 PC and a 7200 on the other. NO problems on either (even got partial openGL support (1.399)) KOTOR2, NFS-HP2 and Underground2 all run perrrfect on both.

BTW- there's an ATI uninstall in the control panel/add remove programs box. Uninstall the old ATI stuff BEFORE you install the new driver pack.
