FFVII black triangles?

Seems like people here are the true masters so I signed up to ask for some assistance.
First off, I'm using ePSXe 1.6.0 with Petes OGL2 configed according to the config posted here as well as Eterna for SPU. I made ISO's of my FFVII game, but this happens whether I use the ISO or disc.
My PC is an A64 3200+ @ 2.6GHZ, 1GB DDR400 RAM, ATI Radeon 9600XT 256. I've searched these forums for my issue and read the FAQ's, so if I missed the solution I apologize! Alright, my problem.

I get black triangles on the character models and the World map in general. A screen is attached below showing the world map only, but the character models are similar (note: the settings in use on that screen aren't the same as the config. I was frigging around to get something to work).

Any one know whats up?

Okay, same problem in FF8. ATI card, black triangles on world map. OGL2 plugin... can't begin to describe how many different plug ins and configurations I've tried so far just to fix OTHER problems. Now that I fixed those problems (choppy movies, gameplay, sound, etc.) I got this black triangle garbage. K, so uninstalled newer catalyst drivers (didn't check version... probably 8.x), installed 7.11. God this crap takes forever. Watching a pot of water come to a boil makes this look slow. Got some steam error at the end... whatever, I don't play TF2 that often anyway. Now I gotta reboot. Great. Rebooted, no more black triangles. So, as a recap:

1- ATI sucks
2- Catalyst 7.11 fixes (or undoes) the black triangles.

Thanks Emuforums.

P.S. Glad to meet all of you. :3

1 thing to try is using older icd with newer drivers, but if ati are like nvidia, they'll have some form of version protection which disables the ICD if it doesn't match the driver.

Wow, ATI just got worse...

Now, on top of the Triangle problem all the menus in FF8 look like this and it even happens in the directX and software plugins.
