Yeah i know.  But it does the job so i see no reason for upgrading.  Im not super serious about the game just enjoy flying it and with the card i have now i get plenty of enjoyment out of the game.  In the presets even my card wasn't listed.  But thanks for your help.

Right, I have just checked the ATI website and there it is written that this card is DX9, and supports shadders 3.0.
If such a card does not work with the bloom, then I would most likely blame the drivers.

Which one was the special version.  I'm not sure I know which one you are speaking of?

And then again, the "San Andreas" bloom effect is now in version 0.75, but when I started this topic, we were all refereing to the 0.74g version (the one that states something like "per pixel lighting for cars blablabla"):

Finally back from a business trip, I could give a try to the newest version of the package, 0.75.

Minimum FPS hit: 10 FPS !! (with bloom only)  :o :o >:(

As a consequence, I DO NOT recommend this version. I switched back to the 0.74h, which has no FPS impact with the bloom.

It looks like you might need the FS9.1 update ... you can get it here.

Daube ... any thoughts on this one?

No idea.
My brother is the only one to use this mod on FS9, and he has the 9.1 patch installed of course. He has no issues at all.

Try replacing your panels.dll with a clean one ...

I don't know if you have a heavily modified sim, but you could try this:

Rename you FS9 main folder to something else and then do a clean install of FS9 in a new folder with the same name as your old FS9 folder. If you have a default install it should be called "Flight Simulator 9". Install the 9.1 patch FROM WITHIN the main FS9 folder. If you don't do it that way you WILL corrupt some dll's.

Install the bloom effect files right after you've installed the 9.1 update and see how it works out.

Now move and/or reinstall every addon you've had installed in your original sim back to the new installation. Generally you shouldn't have an issue with aircraft or scenery addons that you just move from folder to folder. I think the issue occurred when you (possibly) used an auto-installer, check after every time you've added something if you still have an issue with the bloom effect.

Let me know how it works ... ;)
