Ok, I have an Radeon 1650X series video card, I have my video settings set onto low, and my resolution to 1600x1200 75h and my screen goes black during gaming, and it stays black for half a second to 2 seconds, enough to annoy you to death, but it freezes, goes black, then goes back to normal. I need HELP rly bad!!!

Looks like an ATI program?? You might UNINSTALLthe video drivers and reinstall updated drivers. This looks like corrupted or old driver files.

@jeffX??X why??, pray tell, would BF2 not support an X1650 but support others?? you statement made no sense

Fuck you, thats not funny.

Sir. TehDude, Ive Unistalled the WHOLE vid card off my system, and I went and got the latest driver for it, and when I installed it it saying: Driver Install: the INF file was not found. I had to get my dad to help me :P and I think what i did wrong was that i unistalled EVERYTHING of ATI instead of just the drivers, Is that what im supposed to do? lol..

[Sir. Jameslcfc]

You're supposed to un-install the drivers only
You really shouldn't mess with hardware if you don't know what you're doing.

[serfma]

But anyways, listen, After ive unistalled everything, arent you supposed to go to the drivers, get the latest driver, and be able to install it all with it? But what is making me so mad that im suprised im not using caps now is that what is it talking about INF file??????

[Sir. Jameslcfc]

You go to Add or Remove programs, uninstall ATi drivers, restart computer, install new ones, restart computer and you're done.
