I jus want to know that how can i use these catalyst drivers, which are available on this forum, which ver. to use and all.. cause i know messin up with drivers messes up your OS. So donn wanna crash it all over..

also jus wanted to ask a general question, that why a video which plays on my Laptop isnt that sharp and clear, than my friend plays on his desktop which has got Intel Chipset 845 mainboard with philips CRT monitor..

I mean is it monitor's difference or anything missing.

thanks in advance..
