Really updated from 7.2? or from earlier?

I have a Dell 1505 also with an x1400 and after the detecting Hardware stage it won't let me click 'next' because the latest are already installed aparently :s

You are not alone here, I have a Dell E1505/6400 with an ATi X1400 also and it says the same thing for me.

I wonder what is the deal here.

737-26900: Radeon? products - Catalyst 7.3 for Vista Causes BSOD Error Referencing Win32k.sys in Some Systems

Ati took the honor of bsod'ing my Vista install for the first time, workaround provided in the article worked nicely though.

Of course now I can't start CCC for some reason..

Dood! That's exactly what happened to my system. I ended up reformatting ... lol. Also, CCC wouldn't start with mine either so I went back to 7.2.

i had 3 bsods after installing these 7.3's. in safe mode theres no issue whatsoever.. after my 4th attempt to restart it finally decided to work...

i uninstalled previous 7.2's and installed 7.3's with no issues. for some reason the bsods were not logged by the even viewer as gfx related.. or ati driver related .!?!

I want to make very soon (maybe tomorrow) a fresh Vista Ultimate x64 install, I hope I won't have BSOD if I install 7.3.... :cry:

Chances are if you were getting one before, you will get one after the clean install. It happened to me yesterday. Since there was NO way to tell it was from the graphics drive, I thought Vista was bugging out. So, I formatted and proceeded to install the 7.3's again. As soon as I rebooted, bam, another BSOD. Had to do a system restore and install the 7.2's. Since then it's been working great.

I hesitate to install 7.2 or try 7.3..... I think it's a risk if I install 7.3....

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.
