Fable: TLC problem - need help!

I've looked around for things to try to fix my problem, but I have run out of ideas and figured it would be a good idea to ask here.

My problem is that whenever I start the game, it reverts to 640x480 and lowest quality settings after it loads. I can't change them in the game because my PC can't display that resolution properly. I've updated my Catalyst drivers (I use a ATI x800 256 PCI-X), disabled visual themes, and tried messing with the compatibility settings, but no luck. I also have the latest DirectX and other hardware drivers, such as my motherboard drivers, which includes my onboard Realtek audio. I've also tried reinstalling the game, defragmenting my hard drive, and all that fun stuff.

I've thought about trying the Omega drivers to see if they work, but I was wondering if anyone else had any luck with them.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I am running the Omega Drivers - and I luv' it - gets lot of more juice out of my card. However, I don't think it'd fix your problem, it sounds like something a bit more... fishy.... than drivers.

But hey, worth a try. Nontheless they are better than the ATI drivers anyway.

Well, I figured something out, it isn't perfect (I can't max out shadow quality for some reason, or raise the refresh rate ingame), but the graphics are bearable now.

It seems that Fable: TLC is sensitive to refresh rate/desktop resolution combinations. I can't run the game properly in my usual 1024x768 @ 75 Hz, but if I lower it to 800x600 @ 60Hz it works fine. Hope that helps anyone out who has similar issues and WindowBlinds and the other usual culprits aren't the problem.
