Have you tried the 84.21 Drivers?
Are you getting any sort of errors when trying to install?

What about later tho? when I install a newer game and I might need to update my drivers? what should I do?
I've always used the 84.21 version (actually i did use some more recent versions, then reverted back as the performance was better), and i can run a wide range of games, no game has ever asked me update my video drivers? Have yours?

I am also having horrible framerate problems with battlefield 2142, my machine should more than support that game and it runs incredibly smooth and then suddenly the framerate craps out but if I alt tab back to windows then back to the game it kind of fixes itself (sometimes)
Do you have any programs running in the background? If so, disable them all before playing. Also, have a run through the 'Common Game Issues' link in my signature, it may help fix the problem.
