I am almost driven mad with this card! I installed it yesterday and got all the software in. I then discovered that on every boot, when I got to the desktop the resolution has gone from 1024 to 800! I have tried everything but this is still happening! I have uninstalled the display driver and put in the new catalyst drivers but the same thing is happening. Once I reset the resolution it is great! I have also got the latest driver for the monitor. I have even disabled the second display ( for a pci card but I have none anyway!). Bios settings seem OK. I am baffled and don't hold out much hope for TS - even if I can find someone to talk to! Help!

Was your last card nVidia? If so, go get detonatorRIP (http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=detonatorrip&menu=0) and clean out the left overs.
No - it was a Radeon 7200 which ran fine with the catalyst drivers and the CTX monitor. I am also finding that every now and then the video display is garbled on start up before even detecting the drives...

Go into display properties\settings\advanced\monitor and make sure that the refresh rate is correct and that "hide modes that this monitor cannot display" is checked. Now in the same area, go to the options tab and check "enable ATI taskbar icon application" and "show ATI icon on taskbar". I know these last two seem odd but this actually fixed an odd resolution problem I was having when exiting out of games on my 9800 pro.
Thanks. I do have the monitor refresh rate correctly set and modes hidden and I can see the ATI icon on the task bar but will check!
