Default Is there some way to stop the Radeon 9600 freeze-ups in FS2004?

As a newcomer to the Radeon club, I have a strong urge to drop kick it back
to the store. I would be overwhelmingly happy if the screen flickering was
all that was wrong with it... I envy you guys.

This thing freezes in FS2004. It freezes if you put up the frame rate
counter. It freezes in 30 sec if you put up the "Select Aircraft" window.
Sometimes it freezes just for fun. If you are really gentle with it you can
get 30 minutes of flight out of it.

FS2002 runs pretty well with an occasional freeze up.

I'd like to keep the card because the screen output is excellent.

I am running the ATI Radeon 9600 with the CATALYST Windows 98/ME 3.6 drivers
on a Windows 98 platform with a AMD Barton 3200 with 768 megs of PC3200 and
a brand new Antec 350w power supply.

So, is there a magic setting I can use to stop this madness?
