sounds like that bad install mighta loused up your drivers all together.  Reinstalling official ones might do the trick, but Omega drivers also change driver settings and add a few options to running the card, any one of those things possibly being the issue.
  It may be wise to remove the driver set from the control panel's add and remove software section before attempting reinstall.
  It should be noted, I didn't get full use of my Nvidia Omega drivers till I tweaked the driver settings a bit. FS9 seems to be finicky that way sometimes.

Did you uninstall your old driver? with the omega driver i think you leave the display driver and the omega wrights what it needs to and uninstall only the control panel driver.but i am pretty shure you halft to get rid of the control panel driver or the omega driver wont work.

I'd probably go with the Ati Catalyst drivers in this situation.  While I have frequently used Omega's drivers, and have seen some performance improvments from time to time, the official drivers are probably a lot less of a hassle.
   Omega's are sensitive to adjustments, and there isn't much you can change on the cards settings without nulifying the tweaks, pretty much. 
Given my experiences with FS9 to date, I've found some of theses driver tweaks can sometimes conflict with FS, and allthough I've gotten the two to work together more often that not, messing with the wrong sliders on the vid cards setings has you reinstalling software again.
  In blunt words, unless your getting 4fps and absolutely need tweaked drivers to make FS9 enjoyable, i'd stick with official drivers or leaked betas (hit or miss on performance gains, but gennerally, they work, and sometimes fix issues that you'd otherwise have to wait for official fixes on) from a reputable site like 3dGuru.com.  Tends to be less hassle in the end.

Only problem is that those arn't for his radeon card made by ATI, But I'm looking into them for use myself, so thanks for posting.

Ok I got the drivers... but no improvement   

Awwell, I did remove the old control panel and the driver... this time I had no problems installing, but no improvement 

in the control panel of the omega drivers, what is the "clock rate"

Did you install the hacked or normal drivers?  The hacked drivers are only for certain ATI cards.  Stick with the normal omega drivers if you choose to go with omega.   That is, unless you have the 9500 or 9700 (I think those are the cards that support the hacked drivers).  I have a 9800 and I tried the hacked drivers and got that software mode message.  I changed to the normal omega drivers and problem solved.
