ATI 7.3 Issues? "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 4/15/2007 10:01:03 PM Anyone else noticing some issues with the latest ATI 7.3 drivers in Vista? I loaded them on the Ferrari, and it's flashing the screen a lot, especially in Windows Mail - select a new message and the screen flashes at least once, maybe twice. This is as bad as the early beta drivers from that perspective. I'm going to roll back to 7.2, but was wondering if I was the only one seeing this? -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel

I did a quick Google search for "ati 7.3 problems windows vista mail" and, of course, found zillions of hits. There are also reports of BSOD's (http://uk.theinquirer.net/?article=38647) that already have a workaround which I quote: "Start the PC in Safe Mode *Go to Start > Run *Run Services.Msc *Find the ATI External Event Utility Service *Right click > Properties *Change it to Startup Type = Disabled *Apply, then click OK *Reboot" You might want to try that one and see if it helps.

Re: ATI 7.3 Issues? "Charlie Russel - MVP" <charlie[ at ]mvKILLALLSPAMMERSps.org> 4/16/2007 5:57:51 AM Already rolled back to 7.2. Much better. Not perfect, Vista just _is_ a little "flashy" no matter what, but certainly better. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Carlos" <Carlos[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:FDE809FD-C049-40D2-BDF2-21981BF90C34[ at ]microsoft.com...
