Not hardware problem btu I dont know where else to go so:

Im running windows XP 2002 SP3.

I have a Radeon 1950Pro running on 8.4 CCC drivers. I just downloaded the new 8.8 drivers and installed but it messed p my pc. My PC became really really laggy even though the processor was only at 4%. Now when I try to play Oblivion or any other game I get an error and cant start the game. I did some research and it turns out that the 8.8 drivers are crap. I did more research and i read that 8.7 betas are the best drivers out there.

How reliable is this? Can anyone help me what drivers should i get cause i really need an update. I also read about some omega drivers? Modded ATI drivers. Are they any good and worth getting. Ireally need help with this.

I havent read enough about 8.8 yt but yeah, 8.7 seems to be one of the best drivers. However, CCC is already known to make PCs alilbit slower and somehow laggy but not being able to run the game, is different thing.

Anyway, uninstall the new drivers completly and try to install 8.7 and see how its going to be
