Strange colours in movies is usually due to video acceleration... turn it down..

umm and maybe read this post http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=8714
if you get problems with FPS in games maybe best to roll back

Yeah, ever since I downloaded that I can't get in to my CCC (Catalyst Control Center). It says I am not authorized by my admin' to access this panel. What the fuck?

no problems here btw as always with new drivers be it ati or nvidia uninstall the previous version and even better after that run drivercleaner to get rid of the hidden stuff that remains.
then install the new drivrs after a reboot.

i do that with all my gfx driver updates and have yet to get those problems.

display properties>settings>advanced>troubleshoot

It might be a little different for you after "advanced," but with my ati card that's the next step.

1. uninstall your ati software in add and remove programs.

2. google up drivercleaner and use it

3. install ati driver of choice.


U probably have a few versions mixed together now.

yo maj.do your best bet would be to get another HD and test it out.  or just wipe your entire HD....

your best bet is to try to identify if the real problem is the 5.13 cats.  So with another HD install windwos, etc (updates) and then install 5.13 cats and try bf2 again.  the problem might be caused by you installing new drivers over old drivers.  I understand that you have tried to clean it, but sometimes it all gets messed up


good luck.

man just go to Safe Mode and remove the drivers manually from the device manager. then reinstall after u boot back to reg mode, odds are u have a ghost driver. safe mode is ur friend.

sorry this is so late i havent been around.

well i got in touch with ati support.  they said WMP should have problems with 5.13 ..something like that

"The problem that you were seeing with the colours in media videos has been known to occur in some systems that are still using Windows Media Player 9 and the Catalyst drivers newer than Catalyst 5.6.  If this is the case for your, upgrade your Windows Media Player and you should be fine."

The ATI 5.13 drivers are horrible.  I played a couple of maps on those drivers and un-installed them like that.  The FPS were crap compared to the 5.12 and the game was just choppy overall.  I have recently downloaded a set of drivers called NGO ATI drivers.  You can check it out @ downloads.guru3d.com
