I have previously upgraded my father to use Omega Drivers but here is the problem:
Before when my father was using MSI drivers, I couldn't play any game on this Radeon 9550 without the video going blank on the moniter and then I can't find anything to try and restart the system manually. Then when I started using Omega Drivers, I can play except after a while, the screen flashes black and then back to the windows that was showing, but any hardware rendering program that was open is now on a black screen.
I tested Stepmania just now to see if that would start the issue and it did the same thing. It is also done in the game Legends: The Game so this is not from a single Application issue. Stepmania tried first using OpenGL and when it went blank and back, I had to restart the program. It tried to use Direct3D but I had a black screen in that window. Then when I tried restarting Stepmania to see if I can get an error, it brings this up:
Here is the ending area of the video for the log in Stepmania:
In one other game example, the game Rakion does the same thing WHEN it launches. Sometimes it won't launch saying that you can't support OpenGL and to change the desktop to 16-bit graphics and try to start the game that same way (I try that and it don't work; still does the same problem).
Any assistance please?
