9800 Pro Problem...

Well, it all started about a month ago but I was to busy to try and find the source of the problem. But here is what happens. I have a fresh install with just my drivers installed (ATI Catalyst 3.10 & the latest Nforce driver 3.13). I also installed SP1 (I have XP Home). Well, the game I thought I would test is MOHAA. All is well until I enable AA, then the game will start but the screen will go blank. I can still here all of the noise from the game, but a completely blank screen. I can pull down the console using ~ and then type "quit" to exit back to windows, but all the while I have a blank screen in the game. Now, if I go into my opengl setting for the video card driver and change AA to Application Preference it works fine. Any suggestions or thoughts. Again, I have an ATI 9800 Pro. Thanks.

try the 3.9s (Or ideally, the 3.7s)

It did it will the 3.9's also...so I will try the 3.7's....

The 3.8's work perfect, no problems at all. They even run smoother. So, what did they change in the 3.9's that are giving me the problem. I know it started with 3.9, so I wonder what it is...and what are my chances it will be fixed. Any ideas....

Ok, more news. I have found that this only happens after someone else has logged into the computer. So, if I am logged in and try and play a game, it works fine. But when I leave and my wife logs on her name (I am not litterly logged off I just press Ctrl-L to get back to the main screen) the problems starts. Can anyone help me here, I payed about $400 for this card and this is really frustrating....
