The latest driver and the earlier driver for the graphics have been tried, as far back as post 5.. However I am sure at this stage there is no harm in trying another release

[Advertisements]

May I make a suggestion and don't try the newest driver unless the old driver was the version right before. Sometimes the newest is not really the best. Also I would suggest just getting the driver and not the whole suite.

I have not followed this whole topic because both you and ron were on this topic...


then it may be a driver for the game...and by all means don't install CCC...it can cause all kinds of issues

I would say great minds think alike but there is only one great mind and we all know that it belongs to the other guy.
I'm just the one who looks like this

Have not received a crash since, however the ATI driver keeps failing but only on one game + the not responding spam on most programs making them unbearable is still apparent.

ATI video or Audio and what game??

the not responding spam on most programs making them unbearable is still apparent.

Spam? Is this the AMD again?

[urgenthelp]

AMD again? i am not sure it just not responds for about half a second continually going not respond and responding but it is registered on task manager as not responding. Pretty much everything, and i think its the ATI video and the game is runescape it just like crashes and then comes back but stays black.

[rshaffer61]

ATI is owned by AMD and that is why it keeps showing up like that. Did you remove all the drivers before installing the newest one? Also you did only get the driver and not the whole Catalyst Suite right?

[urgenthelp]

i already have ccc from way before, i see no drivers needed for it

[rshaffer61]

You can try to lower the settings on the game and see if that helps.

Firstly perhaps I should stress that I am NOT a gamer and my knowledge of the games is so small that you could write it on the back of a postage stamp

However, if the errors are NOW only experienced

Have not received a crash since, however the ATI driver keeps failing but only on one game + the not responding spam on most programs making them unbearable is still apparent.

on the one game runescape, then I would suggest you go here

click continue to full site and search the forums to see if the issue is covered, or join and submit your own topic.

That is not meant as passing the buck, but you may well find another gamer has the same problem.

In respect of the AMD CCC failure message, a known issue on Windows 7 with the AMD CCC

KNOWN ISSUES

Known issues under the Windows 7 operating system

The following section provides a summary of open issues that may be experienced under the Windows 7 operating system in the latest version of AMD Catalyst. These include:

• Blocky video corruption may be observed while using Windows Media Player to playback HD WMV content.
• The Catalyst Control Center may experience random crashes in specific configurations.
• A green screen may be triggered when playing back Flash content using Google Chrome and Firefox.
• The Unigine Tropics demo may experience random crashes when run with shaders=low and Vsync enabled.

Try

1. Notes.

• When installing the AMD Catalyst driver for Windows operating system, the user must be logged on as Administrator or have Administrator rights to complete the installation of the AMD Catalyst driver.
• The Catalyst driver requires Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to be installed.
• These release notes provide information on the AMD display driver only. For information on the ATI Multimedia Center™, HydraVision, HydraVision Basic Edition, Remote Wonder, or the Southbridge/IXP driver, please refer to their respective release notes found at: http://support.amd.com/.
• AMD Eyefinity technology gives gamers access to high display resolutions. As pixel count grows, the graphics horsepower required to drive the displays at a reasonable frame rate can increase dramatically. Depending on the game and system configuration, users may notice texture corruption and reduced frame rates when running games in multi-monitor Eyefinity modes.
• Windows Driver Model (WDM) drivers are no longer bundled in the AMD Catalyst software suite. The WDM drivers install bundle can be downloaded independently through the AMD website.

FYI...spam is something you get in your email inbox trying to sell you something

Sounds more like a temporary freezing issue.
