Problems with ATI drivers and DOOM 3

[quikgts]

My system consists of a 3100+ sempron, chaintech nforce3 mobo, corsair 512mb ram, soundblaster live 24bit, and msi radeon 9800 pro. I have the latest drivers from the msi website for the radeon v8.05 6.14.10.6476 and directx 9.0c. When I try installing any of the drivers off of ATI's website, my screen will eventually display a bunch of vertical pink and green lines while I surf the web or play a game etc so I'm not sure what that means. Once I load MSI's drivers those lines stop showing up. In any case, I installed Doom 3, get past the loading screen, screen goes black to load the game, then goes back to desktop with a window containing this:

Thats odd, I used to beable to play Doom 3 on default settings @ 60FPS solid with a 9800NP with a 128-Bit memory lane.

You should try uninstalling the MSI drivers and installing Catalyst 5.7. Here's the link:
