Running Vista 32.

Downloaded the latest version of the softmod - Catalyst 7.7 v6.14.10.658 Vista

Had Cat 7.7 installed earlier with no problems. Replaced the patched driver sy_ file with the sys file at

C:\ATI\SUPPORT\7-7_vista32_dd_49713\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH_INF \B_49782

Tried to update the driver. From the inf file located one folder up. Screen flickers a few times. I hear a couple of beeps and then the screen says the driver was installed. Fire up ATITool and 4 pipelines are running instead of 8. Anyone have any suggestions (besides get a new card)?

Do older versions work? I doubt you are getting any performance increase by staying with the latest driver.

NM. Finally uninstalled and deleted everything related to ATI that I could find. Reinstalled the driver and patched. 8 pipes running. Thanks for the older version idea.
