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!

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
