ATI released a new set of their Catalyst drivers. Thanks Creamy for posting this on our BPN forum

If any of you screwed over Nforce3 users are still hoping for a miracle (like me) in thinking someday ATI drivers might fix your Error code 32 vistsa problem, it won't be this release.

bleh i dont know what happened to ATI one thing that i liked about them before was that they provide me with drivers for my laptop oficially now it ask me to go to OEM and download it from them i mean wth...

my laptop comes with xp and now that i have vista the one that sold me the laptop wont provide me anything besides oem drivers its ALWAYS outdated and useless more likely legacy drivers they dont fix anything they dont update anything.

It was a big difference that i choose ati over nvidia for drimers support now im getting screw bleh

i guess im not the only one

Can't you just download the Mobile Catalyst drivers from here?

http://ati.amd.com/online/mobilecatalyst/

A prompt to download comes up and it says 7.4 in the file name.

Just installed on 32-bit Vista and came with a significant performance boost.

After AMD acquisition, ATI is really going down.
Website totally AMD branded, forced delay of next ATI graphic platform, now dropped mobility support for vista...
What's next? ATI not anymore?

I'm f*****g upset!

These drivers caused my system to display a black screen and become inoperable after about an hour, laptop with M200 integrated gfx chipset.
