9.8 modded for mobile

I'm deployed to Iraq, so I don't have my Phenom X4 Tri-Fire desktop with me.

I used Driverheaven's ATI mobile mod for my Sony VIAO mobility 3430.

Fallout 3 finally doesn't CRASH after 20 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else running these on Vista 64bit or 7 64bit? On both (two different pcs) with the 9.8s installed I can't alt tab out of games unless task manager is running. If I do a clean uninstall of these and go back to 9.7s I can alt tab. Clean uninstall of 9.7s and then install 9.8 and I can't alt tab out of games again unless task manager is running. Even tried clean install of the OS's with a clean install of the 9.8s, same thing happened.

I have the same problem with the 9.4's in crysis, haven't tried 9.7's (or these 9.8's). I found if I run it in DX9 I CAN alt tab though... must be a DX10 thing (64bit win7 here btw)
