ATI Radeon 8500 64MB graphics card
Windows 98 SE, 700Mhz Intel Pentium 3, 512 MB Ram
I am suffering with corrupt in-game graphics in Links 2003. The animated golfer, the menus at the bottom of the screen and some of the ingame icons are broken up into vertical lines. I updated the game with the latest patch, updated the drivers for my graphics card with the latest version (Catalyst 3.5) and updated DirectX to version 9. Still the same problem.
The only way I managed to fix the problem was by reverting back to older graphics card drivers (Catalyst 3.4).
All I got out of ATI was the usual automated checklist of things to try, with them saying it is nearly always due to system configuration errors. This is even though the game works fine with older drivers. So to me this spells out a problem with the new ATI drivers.
I don't know if anybody has experienced the same problem, and/or has found a fix for it using the latest drivers?

Don't we love ATI drivers. Every release has some bugs in it, I can't run Vice City at all with 3.5, which is a bit of a problem, but to be honest I'd either just downgrade your drivers (as you really wont notice a difference with the newer ones) or stop playing Links ;)
The Catalyst drivers are known to be bugged, my major gripe with ATI, but a love their cards now, so I'm deal with it. You could try using a modified 3rd party driver, like the Omegas, google for them. Can always revert to 3.4s if anythign goes badly wrong..
