Problem With The Radeon 9200

About a day or so ago, I went to the computer store, bought some parts and built myself a new pc. However I am having some video card problems. First I tried installing the drivers that came with the video card, but the screen went black in the middle of the installation. I then went online, and downloaded and installed the omega drivers from omegacorner.com. The drivers seemed to do the trick, so I installed the JO Demo, and hosted a LAN game. The game loaded rather quickly, but then the screen went black right after it had finished loading. I know this is a problem with the Joint Ops demo, and I know other people have encountered this same problem with the 9200. Do any of you guys know how to fix it? Here are my specs:

P4 3.0 Ghz
1 Gig of DDR PC3200
Power Color Radeon 9200 256 MB 8X
Windows XP Pro

The 9200 is great, I think you would be very happy with it. It can run Joint Ops with all of the settings on high. Now of course I have 1 gig of RAM, but the 9200 has so much on board RAM, that I'm sure you don't even need 1 gig.
