    I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 & I'm having zero problems with the 7.3's. Everything installed properly on the 1st try.

    7.3's seem to be working nicely with Win XP 32bit and X1950XTX. The 7.2's would give me random 2D artifacting, especially on black backgrounds. These are fine. CP loads faster as well.

    I've found an AA error with Oblivion. Basically AA only works one time after I've set it. After that I have to set AA in the ATi control panel for each time I enter the game. Very, very weird. Looks like the chuck patch doesn't get applied or something.

    A word of warning. I just got Win32k.sys BSOD every time I boot my system with these driver, directly related to these driver. These are unusable.

    This driver is absolute crap. How they can release this? Doesn't work at all in Vista. Is there any free driver cleaning tool for Vista?

    Vista wont even load after I install the 7.3s. I had to use system restore in safe mode to get vista running again lol. Anybody know the proper procedure to update the cat's on vista? If I use update to install over the old version it's bsod's time.

    Same here, but it is possible to just install Microsoft's driver in safe mode and you should be able to get in Windows.

    Thanks but I will pass, just because it causes trouble even to install these :(. Others who have not yet installed these should boot into safe mode right after they reboot their system after installing these and do what that guy said.

    if you have a message with a catalyst 7.3 reïnstall which is saying that the INF driver is missing, exit the installer and add the driver manually from your device manager. After that you are able to install the 7.3 version again..
    At least it worked for me ;)

    grtz,

    I can see only welcome in the control center. I have Windows XP Professional. It also list only 1 graphics adapter in control center, instead of the secondary too. I am going to try to 7.1 ->7.3

    I updated to 7.3 on the faint hope that my problems with San Andreas in 32-bit Vista were caused by video drivers and would be fixed, even though the change log didn't really seem to reference anything specifically that might. The problem was that entering the menu had a random chance of hanging the game with a blank screen while the sound kept playing. Luckily Vista was really good about letting me out of it with ctrl+alt+delete. Another glitch was that mouse control would stop working upon entering or returning from the menu sometimes. A workaround was to enter and leave the menu rapidly. It often unfroze the mouse, but unfortunately that was prone to causing the hanging problem.

    So yeah, 7.3 solved THAT problem, except now I have a new one. I have no idea what causes this, but rebooting it fixes it temporarily. What happens is that launching a full-screen game causes it to get minimised to the task bar instantly. Some games let me back in (San Andreas, IL-2 Sturmovik 1946), others will never work unless I reboot the computer in between (Starcraft, Geometry Wars).

    I haven't seen anyone else with this problem anywhere where I post on-line. I'm hoping someone does and has found a workaround that doesn't involve rebooting each time.
