yea sup,
i just recently installed the omega drivers cuz i also just bought World of Warcraft but inside the game the graphics sucked completely. on the wow site it told me that it requires the latest drivers for my video card. by the way i have an ATI radeon, but its a laptop. http://www.emachines.com/products/p...eMachines_M2352 this here is my pc. well anyway i tried lookin on the official ATI site, but they dont have driver updates for my pc. later i learned that companies usually dont release driver updates for laptops. i was pissed lol. but then i heard of omega, so i thought id try it out. well they work awesome in WoW, the graphics rock now but the only problems ive experienced so far is when i try to run ATI tray tools i get this message: Error! Unable to retrive information from BIOS! Please report to developer about your board! hehe well i have no idea what that means but i dont really care about this problem, ati tray tools i can live without. but the problem im pretty worried about is that when i pop in a dvd movie, its real slow, like the framerate got chopped in half. also the resolution is really low. i havent been able to fix this no matter how hard i tried. do u kno whats wrong? also im nub here and i didnt see any "help forums" so sorry if i posted this in the wrong place. id really like to get this fixed tho, in a way that i can keep the omega drivers, cuz without em i cant play WoW! which is an amazing game by the way. any way i did see this one thing in the omegadrivers faq, it said that "i installed omega drivers but now my pc crashes when i try playing a movie or dvd..." it said that its a hardware problem, and that i need to update my BIOS. they apparently can be found at the manufacturers website... great, emachines doesnt even exist anymore. where the hell am i gonna get BIOS update... by the way i decided to post sum things i see in the dxdiag "System" tab:

No offense, bro/sis, but you posted this in another part of the forum already. One thread is enough

Edit: Correction I just counted another thread... So that makes 3
