ATI Catalyst Drivers really choppy

I must've had some old drivers installed or something, but everything was working fine. I just happened to go the the ATI driver site today and saw there was a new version of catalyst (7.2?). I download it, install it, restart computer, and everything was messed up 800x600 resolution, 4 bit color, everything. So I browse to the ATI website, redownload the display driver (not catalyst) and then I was able to change the resolution to something readable (in this case 1280x1024, 32 bit color). However, every thing I do, whether it is browse the internet, navigate a folder in windows, etc it is all so choppy. I was thinking it had something to do with refresh rates, so I changed them all around (tried 60 hz, 70 hz, and 75 hz) and nothing worked.

Any advice? I don't know which driver version I had before, but it did seem like catalyst had more features (did they take features away?).
 
did you uninstall your old drivers before installing your new ones?

No, I just installed the new ones on top of it.

Always uninstall the old drivers first, then boot your computer into safe mode, run driver cleaner, then you can boot back into normal windows and install the new ones.
