yeah i played with ogl (with improved ones and with the originals)
for years 2, but now i use win vista atm. and maybe the new ati drivers
are not really compatible with the ogl / UTGLR drivers
(or my X850XT PE) because i always get a blue screen.
it doesnt matter which ut version i use
(436 or 451)
