So my system specs are pretty high, 2gb of ram, a64 3500, DFI LanParty NF4 sli DR, and a Radeon X800GT 128mb. I used to have Source run on all high, with 2xaa, 2xaf, color correction and HDR on, and I would get about 60 frames per second, constant. Now, ever since i've upgraded to Vista, i still get good framerates, but it is REALLY glitchy, I can't awp at all, and it's generally unplayable, that's how bad it is. Now, I disabled window transparancey, nothing. I had been using the driver that Vista had installed for it, (version 7. something), so I went onto ATI's site and got the newest 32 bit Vista driver (version 8 something) Now, when I try to install it, I have to remove the old driver first, but as soon as I do that, Vista starts searching for the old driver online and installs it before I can install the new one.
 
Thats really weird, I never had that problem before, CSS runs fine under Vista for all my games.

Now when you say you cant AWP, do you mean that when you press the mouse button to fire, it doesnt, or it does, but theres a delay?

Click to expand...

There's just a delay.

So I just tried to update the driver, and although Source keeps giving me a "driver out of date" error, Windows tells me it's not. ?????
 
So i put all the settings on low, and it's actually slightly playable. however, after about 4 minutes, the audio starts coming very distorted. I don't know how to describe it, it's just.... distorted and choppy.
 
This may seem stupid, and im sure you checked, but are you sure your not on a server with a high ping? Because I know when im in a server with 175ms+, theres a pretty significant delay from when I shoot the gun until it actually shows it on the screen.
