I have installed Catalyst 10.8 (for XP) but maybe some one could shed some light on why it is doing this or if its a faulty card?

I'm running in 'perfect' OpenGL and have set the Video Tab to 'Maximum settings' in the IL1946 set up utility as the HD6000 series is not listed in the Graphics card support list. If I open an application and then close it the band of green squares dissappears (they look like a series of miniature screens). I don't want to return it if its simply a set-up problem.

If anyone is using this card I would appreciate any info on how they have it set up with IL1946. I haven't changed any of the default setting in the Catalyst CC.

I'm having loads of problems myself with a 5770 in open GL and have to use directx for online play. Menu screens are all black and white checkerboards and on screen messages just coloured blocks.
It was ok with a low end Nvidia GT220, and with an old Sapphire ATI 3450.

I'm going to try the driver from my old 3450 to see if this cures it.
Will post with result.
Good Luck!
