[GD-Windows] Omega Drivers? (shudder)

[Jon W. <hp...@mi...>]

We've recently noticed that there's a brand of hacked-up graphics=20
drivers known as "Omega Drivers" (from omegacorner.com) which are=20
regular vendor drivers, hacked up to "make them better".

Well, they don't. In fact, they cause textures in our product to=20
come up black. What's worse: once installed, even an uninstall and=20
clean vendor driver install won't cure the problem; you have to=20
format and reinstall Windows, or use a safe-mode-only special=20
utility to clean out the problem.

Our customers aren't entirely happy about this situation, and=20
neither are we. Does anyone have any brilliant ideas about what to=20
do here? I'd be happy if I just knew how to detect that this=20
problem is happening on the machine...

Cheers,

                    / h+
