Can't get above 10 fps in ANY game

Posted: 09-05-2006, 04:14 AM
I installed Vista Beta 2 (5384?) and I now have format-installed Pre-RC1
(5536). Everything in this build seems to be very polished and smooth. I
have an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, and it's running the Vista visual effects/Aero
effect very nicely, however I still cannot game at all.

I installed a few games, including Call of Duty and Call of Duty: United
Offensive. Both of these games are older and my hardware runs them
flawlessly on XP, however in Vista, I only get above 10 FPS if I look to the
edge of a map or into the sky. It almost "feels" like it's using Software
rendering instead of Hardware.

To be sure it wasn't a driver issue, I went to ATI's website and got the
drivers listed on their site. Granted the drivers say they are ONLY released
for RC1 (5600 I believe?), it seems most people are saying they should work
fine with 5536. Everything installed fine, and I can open up the ATI control
panel and everything looks right, except that OpenGL is listed as "Not
Available." Direct 3D version is 7.14.10.0431.

Full screen video, and Media Center video/effects work fine, however games
do not. I even tried running a game in windowed mode, same deal. What
gives?? Am I doing something wrong?

Help!!
