ATI Drivers Help

Hello,

A while ago I installed the latest drivers for my video card. At the time I was unaware that I needed to uninstall the previous drivers before installing the latest ones. So, as a result I have been unable to run higher end games for my PC. I ran programs like CCleaner and reinstalled my video card but I still can't play those games. Does anyone know what is going on? Thanks

AMD Athlon XP 2600+
512mb DDR SDRAM
120 GB Ultra DMA Hard Drive
ATI X800 Pro
Windows XP home edition

Your system isn't powerful enough to run these games. The components that are the culprits in this problem are the cpu (need at least a 2.6ghz dual core), Ram (2GB needed at ddr2 speeds*) and cosider at least an nvdia geforce 8800GTS or equivalent.
*For a DDR2 RAM you need a new motherboard and f you are buying a new AMD CPU, Athlon X2 64 6000+ is recommended and an 8800GTS requires a 600W PSU to run effectively and a PCI-Express. To buy new components, Scan.co.uk is cheap on prices.
