I tryed modding the radeon 7.5 catalyst drivers. After installing like
the instructions said, I restarted the computer, and nothing came up
after windows started up. It didnt get as far as the welcome screen.
There was a line of color in the middle of the screen.

I than went into safe mode, and uninstalled the drivers and returned
my computer to the state it was in before I had done anything with the
drivers. Windows detected radeon 9200 card, after I had uninstalled
the modded drivers.

I decided it was a good time to try out Quake. Here is what I got.
