New ATI Driver, Version 7.3, Available

ATI has a new Vista driver on its site...version 7.3. Lots of fixes for
Vista, especially for popular games. I downloaded it and installed it
without incident on my VISTA setup.

Be a sport and give the link to where you downloaded it

Look at the top, under drivers. You have to select the set appropriate
for your graphics card.

Hmm, just installed catalyst 7.3 with CCC etc.. but now my screen flickers
for a sec, then goes black and comes back with the infamous windows
announcement, that it has restored the driver.
I simply HATE this.. I had just got rid of it with the 7.2 drivers. Grrr

I have Radeon X1950 Pro AGP
2 gb RAM
ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe mobo with latest BIOS

Yeah I tried that too, but the drivers wouldn't install then.
Oh well, I'll figure it out sooner or later

I can't get drivers to install either but I have a mobility radeon in my
laptop. If you go through the proper menus on the website and select
mobility radeon, it still sends you to the 7.2 download page. I guess the
7.3 release doesn't support mobility radeons??

I have a Radeon X1300 and a Dell XPS410 with Vista Ultimate preloaded
along with 4GB of memory.

Per the release notes and communications with ATI via a ticket I opened
this version resolves the problem I noted in my post dated March 11th titled
"Radeon X1300 Display not visible after HDTV source switch or power cycle"
where I posted "The display works fine when the pc is powered, however when
the TV is powered off and back on or the input changed on the TV I get not
video until the PC is rebooted or the display cable is disconnected and
then reconnected. If I pull the cable and reattach then the display becomes
visible and changes to a smaller screen size setting and then I have to
redefine the screen size."

https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206...ase_notes.html

When I installed version 1.3 and the install rebooted my machine it
bluescreened. The bluescreen rebooted it again and the system came up and my
initial problem was indeed resolved and I could see my display after turning
off the HDTV or changing it's inputs. I thought at that time the BSOD was just
a anomoly but the next time I rebooted my machine it bluescreened and then
rebooted and then bluescreened and the cycle repeated until I booted into
safemode. Once I did a system restore to before the 1.3 I was then able to boot
but was at the old driver with the old problem. Reinstalling 1.3 from either
safe mode or 1.2 result in the same bluescreen cycle.

I added this to my existing ticket with ATI and part of thier response was
"We have been receiving some reports of BSODs with Catalyst 7.3. We are
currently unaware of the system configuration that causes this problem and
would need your help. Please provide us with the Microsoft Information System
Report and an ATI Problem report."

I'd encourage anyone having this problem to open a ticket with ATI to narrow this
down and I am rapidly nearing the point where I will contact dell about getting
a NVIDIA replacement card.
