I am running an x850xt in Vista. I was using Overdrive from the CCC (control panel is not an option in Vista, only the control center).

Now, after updating to the 7.3 drivers - overdrive is missing! WTH happened and more importantly, how do I get it back? I'd rather not use ATI Tool and ATI Tray Tools doesn't work in Vista.

(edit):
Okay, I installed ATI Tray Tools Beta for Vista... which is a bit buggy and was using huge amounts of CPU.

However, after I installed it, the Overdrive option reappeared on CCC. Problem solved.

I lost the Overdrive functionality year ago when my Sapphire X1900XT failed on me. I replaced it with Asus X1900XT and after that I can't adjust the settings from stock (minimum and maximum are both the same 725). Clean windows installation and newer drivers didn't help in my case, and I still can't use the Overdrive. The option is there, but I can't change it from the minimum.
