Catalysts are the driver kits. In the release notes (linked on the Catalyst downloads page) it will indicate your card is supported.
A lot of people here are reporting success with the old 4.12 drivers (from 2004/December). I'm playing fine "for now" on the 5.11 drivers (from 2005/November). If you're playing the game alright, I'd recommend not upgrading your drivers.

yea well my dad helped me to try and get this fixed but we downloaded the old update from 04 because he thoght if I d/l the catalyst one and it didnt work it would mess up my computer, but he probably doesnt know what I learned around the support forums.

so I'll try that.

does anyone know how to get the older drivers for the 9800pro? everytime I go to ati it only mentions upgrading to the 5.11. Where do I go to get the 4.0 or4.12?

You may have to create an account and log in to ATI.com to see them; there was a reference to this, if I remember right, in a thread on rage3d.com. Once you're registered and at the driver support pages, there will be a category to the left (kind of layed out like an explorer tree) that refers to previous drivers.

Your dad may be right, too

I'll keep the download of the 04 thing on the desktop in case something does go wrong.
