    Hey everyone,

    First time posting so don't laugh at me to hard.

    Anyways i did a stupid thing. I heard that if you delete or modify the parental control on your ati thing your games will run faster. So i went to control panel and add/remove programs and delted the two parental control things for my ati. Now my ati driver doesnt seem to work, and the little quick launch is gone from the bottom right........

    Need help to find out why its not working and if i need to re-download something?????

    Thanks a lot

    hmm.... i did the same thing but i tried to upgrade my drivers after. Well, my laptop came with a cd with the original driver and i installed the original ATI driver back.

    off topic:

    i didnt want to make a similar topic but what is the latest driver for an X1700?

    the normal recommendations were that to disable the start.up processes/services of ATI and not to remove it :)

    u should be able to get the org driver from ur laptop support site
