Access Violation trouble

Okay, I'm sick and tired of trying and trying everything I could grasp from the forums or whatsoever. So I turn to you, fellow Evofriends so you can help me with my trouble. I keep getting crashes whenever I start a game. It gives me the "Access violation", unhandled exception error code.
It gave me a log, so here it is for you, if anybody can help:

Thanks in advance and keep at the good work! This is the best RTS I've played so far (and I've played a lot) and I see loads of potential here! Keep at it!

In the log:
[f=0000000] Error: This stack trace indicates a problem with your graphic card driver. Please try upgrading or downgrading it. Specifically recommended is the latest driver, and one that is as old as your graphic card. Make sure to use a driver removal utility, before installing other drivers.

In lobby, go to settings and check the "safemode" checkbox.
If that...
a) ...does work: Good, but game will look not as nice because it now uses minimal "safe" settings.
Uncheck safemode again, see
http://springrts.com/wiki/Springsettings.cfg and test out which settings you need to set to their "safe value." (The last row in table)
b) does not work: report back. Install newest video drivers (usually a good idea anyway)
And maybe:

Jesus, I feel like such a douche... I could only read tons of letters, lol. Thanks a lot anyway. I'll try to downgrade the ATI driver.
Edit: didn't want to doublepost, but in response to knorke... It worked like a charm before the last ATI driver's update. I left the game apart for a week or two and then boom, the update and it didn't work anymore. I didn't want to uninstall the driver so I supposed another solution would be available. I'll just keep the last driver (because the new ATI R9 series one is a pile of dragon shit) and try, then I'll tell you what the game did.

The "checksum 0x1" thing is normal I think. It is what some hosts report as default when they do not have the file or something.

Okay, downgraded my driver from 14.17 to 13.12, worked like a charm. Thank you all!
