Eck Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) I wanted to warn users off updating to the Catalyst 7.3 on Vista or XP. A bug exists where only disabling one of the processes (ATI External something or other) will allow Windows to even bootup without blue screening!The forum at driverheaven.net has a thread where folks are working with the Catalyst Maker (ATI developer) in sorting out this particular issue. Most folks there have backtracked to the Catalyst 7.2 to avoid the problem for now.So if you haven't installed the 7.3's yet it may be best to avoid doing so. The 7.2's work fine. ATI will either release a patch, a different version, or wait until the next release to fix this.I hope this helps folks avoid a nasty problem. If you have the driver installed and are not able to boot into Windows, get on over to the driverheaven specific thread in the Radeon driver forum there that mentions the BSOD problem. You can recover by disabling that process or doing a System Restore from Safe Mode to before you installed the 7.3's. They tell you exactly what the process is and even have a script to run that disables the process and lets you run the 7.3's if you want to take advantage of any specific improvements over the 7.2 Cat's.

Batfinks Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) right long story short i bought new gfx cards 2x 1950xtx cards to test out before i desided on new r600 coming out or getting a set of 8800gtx cards.good idea as cards can go into my kids pc when i do make the move and upgrade mine fully.well clean install of vista and disabled UAC, intel chipset installation, then i went to bang on the new ATi 7.3ccc drivers.drivers installed perfectly till i rebooted and i got a BSODrebooted again and it dropped me auto to f8 screen, where from there i decided to go and start pc in low res screen mode (used to be called vga mode in xp) LOL system booted up without the BSOD, i then went around setting up gfx cards desktop res and soso.once i finished all that i rebooted again (at this point hoping and praying i will not BSOD again) and bingo straight into vista fine.been running vista ultimate 32bit with ati 7.3ccc now for 2days complete without further problems or BSODgames such as cs.16/supreme commander/Quake4/BF2/BF2142/prey all working fine and without a problem.so if anyone else is having a issue with ati drivers and vista give it a shot and let me know if it works for you in this way or let me know i was just **** lucky.system specs are:Asus P5W DH/WiFi DLX (board)Intel e6600 cpu + Freezer 7 pro HSF (air)2x 1gig Corsair XMS2 800MHz DDR2 (memory)2x ATi X1950XTX by Connect3D using ATi 7.3 cats1x Maxtor 250gig sata2 drive2x Maxtor 300gig sata2 drive1x NEC dvdrw ide drive580w HiperX sli ready psu.

DarkShadows Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Just an advisory for others who might own an ATI Radeon 1950GT video card (by ATI or other ATI-based brand).The Catalyst v7.2 release notes on the ATI-AMD web site indicated that the ATI Radeon 1950GT cards were not supported by Catalyst v7.2, but would be supported by Catalyst v7.3 drivers. Catalyst v7.2 will not even install on Vista with my Sapphire ATI Radeon 1950GT installed. Catalyst v7.3 installs, but on the reboot it errors, stating a compatible video card is not installed.I placed a technical support call to ATI last week, on which a technician informed me that the 1950GT is not actually supported by Catalyst v7.3 drivers. Yet the current release notes on the ATI-AMD web site do not warn of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShadows Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Catalyst Drivers v4.7 are out! My Sapphire X1950 GT is up and running Vista Aero finally (two months after I purchased it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
