I had a prob with ATI radeon drivers at one point where the newest version (at that time, I believe v10.x) ran like crap for any 3-d games (in particular, Virtual Pinball and Future Pinball). At the time, I had to revert back to, I believe, an 8.x driver set. But, just recently, as I was trying to get an ELO touch screen connected, I revisited the video drivers. Ends up, ATI has released a newer 11.x driver set that corrects whatever the prob was that they introduced at one point. I'd probably 1) turn off auto updates (so you can pick andchoose from the list instead of it just automatically installing new updates). 2) Grab a few older revs of the ati drivers from their site. 3) Uninstall the current drivers, reboot, make sure things work in the default win drivers (though it'll be slow) 4) install the older driver sets, one at a time. and test. If it doesn't work, uninstall, reboot and repeat. I've been there. It sucks. |

Did you turn it off and on again? Seriously though, the Catalyst driver is supposed to be pretty solid for all ATI cards. So, delete ALL installed drivers so that Windows won't try and pick different ones, and install the latest. Cross your fingers. |

Careful, they fight back. |

As Hoopz mentioned I would have thought a System restore to just before the update would rectify this problem. That's exactly what it's supposed to be for. |

Yeah, didn't properly back up, so no good restore point. Problem is if I install the latest ATI driver my XP says windows doesn't support it so it just gives menthe basic 4 bit colo. If I let windows pick the best driver, I can use my card but mane runs Luke trash. I think I'll just chalk this up to be careful next time and just reinstall xp. I have my FE and eons and such baked up. At this point it's looking like it's not going to save me any time or result in a more stable system by poking around |
