so why not just revert back to some older drivers?

 

[NicColt]

It took me an hour to reinstall the old drivers and even then it wouldn't work, I had to reinstall DX8 and all ati software.

Thank you ati for totatly useless drivers once agian that nearly fvcked up my system, may you bastards burn in hell

 

[spanky]

i sense that u r upset. hehe...

 

[imported_zenwhen]

Yeah... an no one else has ever released a driver that didnt work.

Oh... and BTW... my TV out is stilll beautiful after the update. Good as ever.

Since you are having an isolated incident... and I have seen no other complaints about this and those divers....

I give you the ANAL ASS award.

It's your rig fxred up... it's your problem... not ATI's.

I have to add I was very disappointed with my Radeon 8500/catalyst experience. I sent if back to Newegg, I never could get it running right. It's not my rig, I tried a fresh install and it has also run a V5, V4, Radeon 32MB DDR and Geforce 2 Ti flawlessly.

In XP all you would have to do is "roll back"....upgrade already Nic, catalyst works great on my rig, best package from ATI yet IMHO.

>Since you are having an isolated incident...

Listen up Juuuuunior put tv failed to initialize in google's group search and you'll get 1,800 hits and over at rage3d you'll get some 189 post's on the subject so before you yap why don't you learn what it is before blowing hot air. Why don't you log on to rage3d and tell them that it's an isolated incident.

>it's your problem... not ATI's.

How the hell can it be my problem, I and others have done exactly what ATI has said over at their website on how to install these drivers, unfortunately they don't tell you that you have a good chance of fubaring your system royally. If you go see over at rage3d forums it's all over the place.

>You can't even uninstall Catalyst driver. a piece of crap, period.

Another Juuuuuuunior post with few marbles attached to it. If you would know anything on what the problem is, even rolling back or removing the drivers and falling back for some does not work and does not fix the problem and it didn't for me either, once it happens your FUk'd and the level of fixes varies. Eventually, I had to uninstall the drivers, everything ATI, wipe the registry clean, remove IE and reinstall Directx and then reinstall IE 6 with all the updates, then the drivers and then all the ATI software. All because of some dumb sh!t over at ATI can't program and properly test drivers.

>catalyst works great on my rig, best package from ATI yet

for some yes, for others it's a nightmare. If these were beta I would understand but for FFS these are official drivers.

I hope I don?t get my head bitten off but the fix for me was to reinstall the video capture drivers after installing the Catalyst drivers to get the TV to work.
