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.

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

    • How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.
    • This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
