hi, yes i feel a bit stupid... i was pleased to see Vista had the option to delete the driver software when you uninstall a driver, so i tried it out on the Microsoft ATI WDDM driver before changing to the ATI catalyst driver to see if i could get glass. the catalyst driver didn't work, and now i can't revert to the WDDM driver either. what's more, i have extracted the install.wim file from...

The CD that came with the monitor said it did not...
