New build, Issue with Radeon 9200se w/ Omega driver

Im not really much of a gamer, so I was never trying to build a hot rod, just wanted a simple stable system, vital specs are this:

Biostar m7ncg 400 mobo
AMD sempron 3300
512mb ddr ram (corsair)
old ibm deskstar 16gb hd
Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9200se 128mb ddr
Win98 se

Issue is this: Everything seems to work fine, until I loaded my ATI drivers and attemp to set the color at anything above 256colors. My cursor turns into a block resembling whatever section of the screen it was on and occasionally a few blue and black rectangular box's will pop up at the bottom of my screen. Everything still runs, and the cursor still works, but it just shows as a random square resembling whatever is on my screen. If I switch back to 256, everything is fine.

I went into BIOS and attempted to disable to the onboard VGA, and also downloaded the latest Omega driver for my card(http://files.ngohq.com/omega/ATI/rad_w9x_omega_2637.exe), but alas, the same crap, like I said, only happens above 256 colors, and only using 256 colors really sucks.

Im not a real techie so this is as far as I know what to do. I have browsed these forums for info before, and was hoping maybe someone would have a suggestion?

Thanks for any help

First off did you install chipset drivers? Next try a Official set, and see if you can get the system stable before trying a modded set. Did you get a disk with this card? I would start there, post back if you need more help.
