Okay iv been looking ALL around and still cant find a fix for this, i realize there is a bit of a support issue with the X1xxx series and windows 7 BUT i recently got a X1950PRO just 2 hours ago and still cant get it to work with windows 7 x64. this is FRUSTRATING considering i was running it FINE with a OLD ass ATI 9600 Atlantis just a few hours ago! I tried the windows drivers, the vista x64 9.1, 9.3 drivers and i keep geting the same problem! when i install the drivers it says i have to restart, i restart, the screen res is finally nice in the login screen looks beautifull then when i login it looks perfect the res is fixed looks like it worked then bam a few seconds in it freezes and my monitor refreshes and crashes and my pc reboots! im in safe mode now PLEASE HELP!

Have you tried the Vista 64 drivers?

ATI have dropped support for their DX9 only cards, including the 19XX series. You will need to locate and use an older driver.

Try 9.1 or 9.2 for vista from " Previous Drivers & Software". 9.1 worked for me!
Good luck.
