    I got a Acer Ferrari 5005
    one problem is when I play games (NHL2007)
    there seems to be problems with it
    my computer run on ATI X1600
    and it use ATI Catalyst Control Center
    sometimes when I set it to a certain point
    it will run fine
    but usually it is like out of sync for the video and stuff
    it is coppy and sometimes I couldn't see some part of the menu
    It should run fine for this game
    but the setting is just killing me
    I am not a big computer person
    but it is annoying how it is sometimes working
    and sometimes not
    anyone have a good solution for this poor kid >? (myself)
    thansk a thousand

    so
    i am wondering
    would Omega be better then the catalyst thing ?
    basically what happened is like
    the menu is lost, like you can't see it
    and sometimes the sound doesn't sync with the video
    lets say when i get a goal
    the play by play will be like doing the goal 5 to 10 seconds later

    i think, that it has to do with the drivers, i dunno if you can get those program/apps or w/e they are back unless you revert to the old software(correct me if i'm wrong plz)
