I sure hope these are better than last month's release...the XP x64 drivers totally screwed up my laptop. I installed them, and soon after, the LCD would just randomly cut off and the laptop would lock up. The only way to get it to work again was to cut the power off.

I'll give these a try and hope for the best!

I had the windows default ATI drivers installed, then i installed these now it seems as though the brightness of my monitor got so much dimmer, does anyone know how to fix this? Put the color brightness back to it was with the Windows Default ATI drivers?

Im having the same problem :(

hopefully someone can point out a fix or something :cry:

Not sure if this is the same issue but I had to change the black and white levels from PC standard to Microsoft MCE to get the usual colors. The black and white levels can be adjusted from the color tab in CCC, you'll have to scroll the color page down to see the option.

Do not install these drivers! I repeat... do not install these drivers!

I have 3 machines all with ATI cards, 2 running XP Pro and 1 running Vista Ultimate

On the vista machine, computer froze

On both XP's monitor goes to hiberbate and won't resume

I rolled back to 7.4 on all 3

Nice one ATI/AMD --- the same driver bundles junk and bugged, reminded me again that I'm going to switch to Intel and nVidia in the future (running all AMD, ATi right now)

First of all did you properly uninstall/install the drivers. Tutorial

Ah plz... I'm not installing on Linux and this isn't 2002.... ATi offer an update option for Vista install, nVidia can do it just fine

And btw yes, I uninstalled with a 2nd attempt, rebooted, installed and no go, problems on 3 diffrent computers

Problems are reported in every major tech website forum, I just did a quick look, these drivers are bugged and bundled with junk... FUNNY! the junk installed fine

And something ATi must for being decent towards customers, don't call it free games offer... CALL IT "STEAM"! disgusting.

Oh, please! You can *opt-out* of installing both EarthSim and Steam (I opted out of Steam because I already had it installed; have you not heard of a *custom install*?). Also, I happen to *like* Steam because it saves me from shuffle-installing CDs like so many floppies (which will happen if you have something like Half-Life Platinum Collection, as I do); further, getting back HL2 Deathmatch (which I hadn't seen since Source went into beta) or actually *getting* Lost Coast (which I had only seen videos of) isn't exactly a bad freebie for old hardware (AIW 9700 Pro). Lastly, how long have ATI and Valve been partners to one degree or another? This isn't exactly the *first* Valve/ATI deal (however, this *is* the first Valve/ATI deal to cover existing hardware, as opposed to being new-hardware-specific). The Lost Coast and HL2 Deathmatch offer also applies if you already have Steam installed (I grabbed both two days ago). I'm doing an upgrade install (over Vista Catalyst 7.4) as I type these words (so far, I have had no problems iwth any version of Catalyst for Vista). By the by, what ATI card do you have, and on what hardware are you installing?

ATi cards , Radeon 9600XT on one XP machine, Radeon X1550 on another XP machine, Radeon X1900 on my Vista machine

AMD cpu's ranging from A XP 2500+ to A64 3200+ and A64 X2 3800 and does it really matter? 7.5 cats are not working on either of them.

    • Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

    • I've never even heard of this browser before seeing this article. How does it differ from other browsers?
    • Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
