Hi All, I recently got a Dell 8250 PIV with a Redeon 9700 TX video card (this makes Flyer Ken a happy, happy boy!). The system rocks, but... When I run FS full screen and then alt-tab out of it, and then try to go back into FS by pressing the icon on the taskbar, I get the blue sceen of death (no text).I'm using the default Dell drivers. My question is, would upgrading to the latest Catalyst drivers help, and has anyone with a system like mine done the upgrade successfully? Thanks in advance,

I just read on a forum (sorry, but I've been to so many forums and sites that I can't remember which one it was on) that you have to put FS2K2 into window mode from full screen before you alt-tab to minimize when running a Radeon card.Tim13

That's what I've been doing, but it's annoying because if you forget and hit alt-tab, that's the end of your FS session. I was hoping there was some kind of fix.

Try downlaoding and installing the Omega series drivers. I was running the Cat3.1's and while my framerates were amazing my image quality left a lot to be desired. I also had the same problem as you on occassion but have not had it since i changed drivers.Remember to uninstall the dell drivers from add and remove programs before you install the Omega drivers.Keep me postedBobby

Bobby, that worked thanks! I think the Dell drivers are based on older Catalyst drivers. Image quality is great.

Yeah... I think I have the same issue...where can I foind the OMEGA drivers you speak of?Thanks.

Thanks Greg...Do you think the Omega Drivers (2407) be OK with the Dell Motherboard and the ATI Radeon Pro or should I use Dell's latest offering? System currently rocks but I do get the BSOD if I don't Window mode FS first. ALso a big pain with FS NAV...!
