    I've got a NP4750/D470k laptop with a Radeon 9700 graphics card that I'm trying to upgrade the drivers on. I've loaded the latest BIOS that I know of (2.04) and I'm using the latest drivers from ATI (APR 18 2007). I've uninstalled all ATI drivers and used Driver Cleaner to make sure I removed everything then restarted the system. I've then loaded up the ATI CCC. Now the problem I get once I reboot from that is vertical lines across my screen however 3D support is active (I'll get to this in a sec). Sometimes I'll get the ole blue screen of death with the following error report:

    ati2cqag.dll address BFA228F3 base at BFA1AA000, Datestamp 45f89d03

    Sometimes I don't get the blue screen regardless when I restart the system from here I get no vertical lines however my 3D support is GONE. I try to run City of Heroes and all I get is a loading screen. I CAN load the game when I have the vertical lines though. I've tried using the Omega drivers with the same results.

    This is really starting to frustrate me. Any ideas please....pretty please?
