I have tried everything you suddested and i cant fin catalyst 6.1 for windows
xp that driver is for windows 2000. I still have the problem. do you think
this could be caused by any other peoblems as when i work on this publisher
file on other pcs they work fine and it is the same program as i transfer via
a usb data carrier. would uninstalling xp and rebooting my pc help.I'm now
getting to the point where I will be in serious trouble with the printers if
I cant make the deadline.

That's odd, because I went to the link and it linked me through to
downloads for Windows XP, including the latest version of CATALYST.

I have now successfully downloaded catalyst 6.1. However my computer would
not allow me to run this driver and has reverted to using the original driver
please advise on how i can run this or any other option that may be available
to me.

is catalyst 6.6 a valid driver for my graphic card.

Read the support documents on the ATI web site.
Do a disk clean-up...
Open My Computer, right-click your hard drive, properties, click disk clean up.
Keep your Office setup files.
Empty your temporary cache, in Internet Explorer, tools, Internet Options,
delete files.

Buggy, I suspect your ATI is integrated on your motherboard.

If the above is correct then Catalyst 6.6 is your driver.
