No DirectX again with Cat 7.10 on my X800XL. Had to go back to Cat 7.8.

dxdiag tests fail with crash, itunes flip3d doesnt work. Windows Media Center fails to load citing no incompatible video card. Any DirectX game fails to load.

A quick search of Google shows many people are having this problem. Theres no way these should have ever been released like this. And shows fault with WHQL.

I have a problem since the last 3-4 drivers.

I have Vista Ultimate 32Bit, I'm french.

I just make a fresh install (reinstall) of Vista. I downloaded Display driver and CCC in french. I install it.

and it's very strange, the CCC is only in english, only install is in french.

Why I don't have french language for CCC ?

VERY Happy with this release.

I use Mobility Modder on my FireGL V5200....my external 1440x900 monitor would not run in the right resolution (despite being set and reporting the right resolution in display properties) until you clicked any one of the adjustment properties (up, down, stretch) in the CCC since like 7.6

Doesn't happen anymore! Yey!

    • Absolutely NOBODY has suggested such a conclusion. I am affirming the sober reality check that AV2's overall market adoption will take longer than AV1's adoption rate -- which, by the way, is the whole point of the article! While PCI-SIG is productive (on paper), other WGs have created all sorts of confusing progress plans that consumers have tuned-out of their improvements... HTML/W3C, USB, HDMI, BT, WIFI (ieee802.11) as a few other groups where spec naming conventions, split progress paths, overlapping ambitions... I'm not critiquing the AV specs group; I'm simply affirming that adoption for AV2 faces headwinds beyond the macroeconomics of it all.

    • No thanks! WebView trash is unacceptable. I only use software that's native.
