ATIKMDAG

I've searched for this issue on the net the last week, and read numerous
posts about it, but all of the posts was about playing games on their
computers when experiencing the error message about the display driver
recovered.
Well, I get it when trying to watch Live Tv on my Vista 64 Media Center. The
screen goes black, and then the machine recovers showing the desktop.
I'm using the Gigabyte MA78GM MB with built in HD3200 graphics, 4gb of
667mhz RAM and Athlon 64 4850e CPU.
Anyone with advices for this?
Can read that uninstalling the CCC application could solve the problem,
however I'm out of town at the moment and can't test it, so I'm just looking
for a list of things to try when I get home.

for one thing he says using Vista.
for another he references ATI.

8-6_vista64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_64790.exe

Ah... They do have errors at least on the 32 bit version of both Vista and
XP, if You enable Catalyst A.I.=advanced and try to start the game
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or Prince of Persia Sands of Time, the computer will freeze
and stop responding. On XP, the drivers support a feature called GPU
recovery, it may prevent the freeze, but Display acceleration may be lost.

I posted a ticket about this on ATi's site. After fooling me around for a
few weeks, they asked me to confirm it again step-by-step (although I had
provided all details and a video demo already), so that they can try to
reproduce it. It's been a week since I replayed to them and have no answer,
so I may decide to make the video demonstration available for the public to
see: why NOT to buy ATi products. I'll give them a few more days.

Correct, I'm using Vista.
I made the Vista install, and installed CCC 8.6 right after. Haven't tried
any other drivers on this installation yet.
Changed from XP to Vista as XP was not at all running good with my setup. So
far, Vista haven't proven to be better, But I'm glad to hear that some
managed to get it to work.
I will try to uninstall the CCC application, and then onyl install the
drivers from ATI when I get home.

That MS KB that was posted by Mark also applies to the Vista 64x Media Center. And his answer was correct for the OP's issue

you need to read the article to see that is does not reference ATI but another video card.

therefore it is not relevant.
