Pretty huge problem with ATI Radeon 1800XT

I have just upgraded my PC this summer and it runs many games on the highest settings with 40+ FPS. I figured this would be a great time to get back into game development, but to my disappointment, I run the Starter.Fps demo for TGE 1.4.2 and all I get is a black screen. I tried changing it from OpenGL to DirectX but nothing changed. Not even Constructor works! I have the latest drivers installed and I'm sure its not the new motherboard or CPU because I put an older PCI card in and it worked fine (only about 8 FPS though, but thats normal).

Does anybody have any suggestions that might help the slightest bit?

That is strange. I had 1950XT and that worked fine, I'm sure the 1800 is not that much different. Which OS are you runing btw. There are some problems with Vista and ATi.
With 2900XT and Vista (and TGE1.5) I had some problems with holes in terrain which was sorted out with two lines of code in script files.

Wow I feel stupid. I guess I have been gone too long to remember to delete .cs.dso files XD. Thanks for your help anyway.
