Well you are using the wrong driver for your graphics card. Go to the ATI site and download the correct one. On the right side select the correct items and then click on View Results.

Which catalyst version were you trying to install?

Well at least you now know, Myth didn't break with an update. It broke when you used the wrong drivers.

Link me to the drivers you used to update. Also, you might want to uninstall all ATI stuff and then reinstall the drivers.

I linked you to the ATI/AMD site, I did not link you to any specific driver download. Find it again, and copy/paste that link for me so I know which one you used.

I'd still like the specific direct link of where I can find this driver, so that I know for sure you got the correct one.

That seems to be the correct driver. Uninstall any ATI software and drivers and reinstall that one? Check Windows Update, make sure you have the latest critical updates installed. It could be a hardware issue, but it would be best to check everything else first.
