Omegadrive CAT 3.5 Drivers
I've installed the newly-released Omegadrivers. I've been using his drivers now for nearly 3 years.
I know that just about everyone is going to run the 3DMark2K3 test and so, I did so. But, I got an error that kept it from completing. I've never gotten this error before:
FMOD error in FSOUND_SetVolume: An invalid parameter was passed to this function
I'll rerun the DXDIAG tests for sound to see if that's the culprit, but wanted to see if anyone else may have experienced this.

I got that sound error a second time after reinstalling DirectX 9.0a
I'm running the 3DMark2K3 again now, after updating the SBLive! drivers.
EDIT: Running the SB Live! Driver Install again took care of that error. Whew! What a relief!
Anyway, I can't report an increase in my score, but, it did run very well and looked great!

Yes, that had me going for awhile, too. But, the only thing I had changed since the last run was to the Omegadrivers.

I have Omega 3.4 on my system now. Just install over top, or uninstall Omega drivers, install ATI cat 3.5 with know control panel and then install Omega 3.5.
I ask because in the readme it has always said install over ATI drivers. I have never noticed anything about upgrading from a previous set of Omega's.
Thanks for the replies, this site kicks ass.
