ATI 8500 Help

My buddie Flashed my BIOS for my ATI 8500 when trying to play Delta Force Black Hawk Down it was kinda blocky and i couldn't get it to stop.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the card. Now i have these yellow lines going down my start menu and it takes a while to display a new menu.

unfortianly he is out of town till this weekend and i was wanting to play now.

Any answers?
Thanks,
Cory

It worked fine before the flash? If so, it looks like your buddy might owe you a new Radeon 8500! Did you completely un-install the drivers, then re-install? Did either one of you physically handle the card? Is there any way to revert to the previous BIOS version?

Oh ya it worked fine before. I don't think any physical changes were made to the card. I uninstalled the card from the controll panel. I guess i'll just have to wait and ask him if we can revert to the old BIOS.
