Yes, I installed catalyst_8-31-100-3-2-1_vista32_rtm. I first uninstalled the previous one. I also used
DH DriverCleaner to try and make sure most of the old stuff was gone.

Subject: SiS AGP to PCI Windows Update and Aero and Headache

When you say the latest ATI drivers do you mean the Vista Beta drivers
posted at ATI last week 12/13?

My very quick config:
Windows Vista Ultimate
HiS ATI X1650 Pro 512 meg
1.5 gig memory
Monitor is an older Dell 21" UltraScan P1110

After suffering from the Error 43 thing for several months, the other day
(Dec 15), Windows Update
lists a "SiS Driver update for [AGP]". Of course, I installed it, then
reinstalled the newest ATI display
drivers, and finally I see Aero working for the first time, for about 8
minutes.

Now what happens is everything seems fine, but then the display will click
over to a slightly differant
resolution, or just click over to something else, which I think is another
refresh rate. After doing this
a few times, the monitor will just fill with some random, striped colour,
and it will say something
like 'Monitor is working. Switch to another frequency'. Sorry, not exactly
that, but something like that.
I should have written it down. When it does this, I have no way of
switching back, and must
force a reboot, and start the process over again. At least it gave me
enough time to go back to the
default VGA display driver.

Before I switched back to the old display driver, I switched the Dell
P1110 monitor driver to the
default monitor driver and that seemed to make it last a little longer
before it went nuts again.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do to get things working?
Anymore info needed, just ask. And thanks for any support on this issue.
