Download the 4.9beta drivers run the install set up, *but* don't finish
it, just let it extract out to whatever folder it asks and then cancel.
You can also just open the executable file with WinZip and extract it to
a folder of your choosing.
Go to the folder and find the atioglxx.dl_ file, it'll be somewhere like
....\wxp-w2k-DOOM-HOTFIX\Driver\2KXP_INF\B_17036\
Open a command prompt(start>all programs>accessories>Command Prompt) and
navigate to where that file is,
type in expand atioglxx.dl_ atioglxx.dll, then copy it over to the same
folder that has the Doom3.exe in it.
If you already have the 4.9beta installed, just copy the file from
c:\windows\system32\.
Then install the 4.8 drivers.
You can move the 4.9 beta atioglxx driver in and out of the Doom 3
folder to test for yourself which, if either, gives better performance.
This is the way these games have worked for a while, they look in the
current folder for a dll first then if they can't find one they head for
the system32 folder.
