ATI Radeon instals, but XP says "for previous version of windows"

Hi,

I've searched to forums and havnt come across a solution. I have tried installing both the newst version of OmegaDrivers and a DHmodded version of the official ATI 6.4 The installation progress goes flawlessly. System them reboots into 640x400 256 colors, and when I to go Screen Settings I am told something like "Cannot use the current driver because it is for a previous version of Windows". I have downloaded the 2K/XP versions several time, and it IS the version I am using. Everything ATI removed before installation as well. Any ideas?

(Asus M6N notebook, ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 GC)

no idea, but i have the same problem under windows 2000.
i've had this problem for many months now but it doesn't really bother me as everything works like it should.

this is the error message i get when opening display properties and i get it again when opening the settings tab in the display properties, but like i said, everything works fine so i don't really know what's causing this anomaly.
