For the screen problem why don't you just take screen shots and post those? Maybe that will help us help you.

I was going to do that, but when I saw my screenshots on my destop, they looked perfectly normal. My desktop could handle the colors right and the laptop couldn't. Maybe something will change when ATI comes out with some new drivers.

By the way, I see no traces of this while gaming. UT2k3 @ native res all settings highest is very playable. I averaged about 40fps.

I've got the same problem with the blotchiness. 32 bit color, 1280x1024 resolution, but it looks weird. I got a differenct style for xp, and it looks better, but the problem is still noticeable.

Well I guess if any one of us finds out how to fix it make a post back here.

why was the WHQL version included if it had probs?
