    i have a 1662wlmi and am having issues with the drivers that came with the system for the 9700 radeon card and doom 3, i have tried the omega drivers but i cant get the smartgart to turn on and when i tried the specified steps listed in the faq it still wouldnt start. i dont know the motherboard chipset and cant find what it is, i think its an ati but i cant find drivers to get that fixed. then with smart gart turned off framerates go down tremendously and are basically unplayable in half life 2 but that game is fine with the stock video driver. Does anyone know what i can do so that i can play both games? acer has been no help and has no plans to upgrade the driver to the latest catalyst.
    thanks for any help!
