mm.. why do i always get re-directed to http://ati.amd.com/online/403/leech.asp when i click the release notes links :/ it always happens

I would guess and judging by the URL it does not like you using leechget or any other download manager.

#2.2 TRC on 16 Aug 2007 - 12:10

No, it's because Neowin is linking directly to the page and they don't allow that. You have to go through their site.

It's a referrer check.

AMD/ATI doesn't want remote linking. There are multiple reasons for this, such as bandwidth and licensing issues.

Drag and drop the link, works for me.

#2.5 Croquant on 16 Aug 2007 - 17:10

This is why I didn't include that link when I submitted this article to the newsdesk. Someone at the Newsdesk added that link before it was posted to the Software News page.

7.7 and 7.8 are the first 2 drivers from ATI Ive had problems with. Ive switched back to 7.6.

the v7.8 drivers won't work for me and a few others from what I've read, rebooting sets your display mode back to 4-bit colour mode and makes your desktop icons invisible!

Nice one ATI

Same thing happens to me also, need find my old driver.

Thanks, Croquant.

Version 7.8 works just fine here. It does not change my mode to 4-bit. I can't understand you guys having trouble. I have 37" Sharp LCD TV with 1080p resolution, and it looks great.
