i installed these and i had three shortcuts placed on my desktop.
the problem is i dont know what half the stuff is

ex:
what is the difference with opitions in 'multi res'?
how can i make all the settings top notch, for good gaming visuals?
can i have open GL and direct 3d open at the same time? beause it only lets me have one option selected... I dont even know what the heck direct 3d is for, but i do know open gl is for seeing textures and such in desing programs (and for wolfenstein to work )

help with config of the drivers would be nice.
thanks

From that page on the guide explains the usage of the Ati Tray Tools which you got installed with the Omegas. If you don't understand functionality of the basic 3D settings in ATT, read the information about the corresponding Catalyst Control Center's setting in the guide. ATT has the same 3D settings as the CCC and even more..
