    I love my x700 128mb however I have a couple of issues with it that I need help with.

    1.) My available resolutions are 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, and 1440x900(w)

    Why does it skip 1200x800?

    I have tried to google and find any answers to this but I got nothing.

    Which leads me to #2

    2.) I wanted to try to upgrade my drivers but I always get this error message:

    INF Error
    Video Driver Not Found

    Why does this happen no matter which video drivers I try to upgrade to?

    I am currently at catalyst 6.1's.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Try the Omega drivers from www.driverheaven.net. Use the Catalyst 6.3's, they are the best and most compatible. Be sure to remove your old drivers first before installing the new ones.

    I will give those a try Chaz thanks!

    Also, will I still be able to overclock the card using ati tools if I use the omega drivers?

    And will that give me the 1200x800 resolution that I seem to be missing?

    Thanks!

    Omega drivers work very well with ATI Tray Tools. Yes, they should give you an option for 1280x800.
