radeon 9800 pro & Formula 1

I have been having constant crashes (no pun intended) on F1 2002 since
purchasing a Radeon 9800 pro recently. I have tried the official catalyst
drives version 4.4 to 4.6 all with no luck, and also the latest omega
drivers. Although I can play the game for short periods of time, the screen
normally go's black and I cant get it back. I have had similar problems
with other games, and they all seem to be a couple of years old, but apart
from this problem were resolved by using catalyst version 4.4.
I was wondering whether anyone else had any suggestions, of either how to
resolve this issue, or any experience of F1 games that worked well with this
card.

I am using aP4 2.4
1g ddr 2700 memory and windows XP.

Hi Paul,

I will start by stating the "Obvious", Have you updated the drivers (no pun
intended) for the F12002?

I think he means have you searched for game patches
