My dark wallpaper has become like above pic. If I reboot in safe mode all is well. Uninstall graphic card's drivers also back ok. But same problem comes back as soon as I install latest driver again.

What should I test next?

could also be a bad video cable connection. easiest to troubleshoot this, plug unplug both connections (1 at comp, 1 at monitor), and see if it persist.

I suspect the latest driver is not compatible with his old card.

Ya hor, misread that part :o

Then I think need to check drivers; make sure to use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to clean the drivers thoroughly before installing any drivers. If can remember which driver version you used previously, can also use that and see. AMD drivers not very stable recently :(
