Radeon New Drivers - Sept 12th.

Wow, A few days ago I thought "hey, I should check for new video card drivers". So I did, and there were a new set. So I snagged them! Awesome! Well, I was bored and checked the ATI site just now, and noticed there is another new set of drivers for Sept 12th! It says they are optimized for XP Service Pack 1, which is cool since I just installed XP SP1. Anyways, just a heads up... Mike http://mikebeauchamp.com

Always check out www.rage3d.com and similar sites to see if there are any problems. If you have an All-In-Wonder series, with all the video capture stuff, beware. Updating drivers is a giant PITA. You have to download and install multiple drivers, and lots of rebooting. Ridiculous. -- If there is a no_junk in my address, please REMOVE it before replying!

It seems that with certain settings - this drivers will do nasty things to your machine ( see www.hardocp.com ) Doug

From hardocp: Jonathan Snow mentioned earlier that the situation discussed earlier yesterday was nothing new and came back with a thread to prove it. It does not seem to be an ATi problem but possibly something going on with one of those tweaker programs that does things beyond what the control panel allows."

It _appears_ that there _may_ be a serious data loss issue with the latest Catalyst drivers and NTFS volumes, so be sure you research this before installing. I know there is some info on this over at www.hardocp.com. -Larry "Mike Beauchamp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:IGUg9.51925$[email hidden]... > Wow, A few days ago I thought "hey, I should check for new video card > drivers".

It does not seem to be an ATi problem but possibly something going on with one of those tweaker programs that does things beyond what the control panel allows." So it's not so much a driver issue as it is a tweaking issue. Also not limited to the newsest drivers, has been like that for some time. I have been using this driver set and find it to be the best to date on my 8500. "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:SDmh9.60338$[email hidden]...

Schooner, same here, I have been using the 2.3 Catalyst drivers since they where released with no problems at all. 9700,XP, N2002, GPL all work just wonderful! :) "Schooner" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:NMmh9.80939$[email hidden]...
