    I have inspiron E1705 + 7800 GO video card.

    tried to play crazy taxi 3, but it doesn't work properly, sometimes the games goes too fast, and sometimes it goes too slow.

    does anyone know why?
    be very appreciative if anyone can tell me..
    thanks!

    The 91.33's are beta, I would switch to something else - try the 91.31's or an earlier version, perhaps the 84.56.

    84.56 is the way to go like Chaz said. That is what I am running without a hitch.

    I prefer the 91.33 - I just updated my drivers and my GPU is running better than ever.

    hey xamd, you have pretty much the same system as me, can you try playing crazy taxi 3 on your system and see if it works?

    i hope my video card is not defective or anything..

    the problem your describing could be related to your cpu, not your video card, I'm pretty sure your using a core duo, one thing you could try is to set the affinity for the game,( dedicating it to a single core) start the game, press alt-tab to switch to the desktop, open the task manager, click the processes tab, and right click the game, scroll down and click set affinity, and uncheck one of the cpu's, I had to do that on some older games when I first got my amd x2, some games looked like an episode of benny hill, and that took care of it, and if you are trying to play the game on battery, power management could be causing some of your problems as well
