RE: which ati radeon driver to use

Is RC2 the same as the OEM vista version, because I cannot find these RC2
drivers.

Where are you looking for the drivers?

Go to:
http://ati.amd.com

In Drivers and Software/Find a driver. Select the version of Vista (32bit or
64bit) and then select your installed video card from the list. There is no
driver specifically for RC2, the Vista drivers for all cards in a particular
category, such as Radeon, are all contained in the one downloadable file.

Bull I just bought a diamond mm 9550 and vista home basic and the drivers
don't work correctly. And had no problem with the card in XP before
installing vista! So don't be telling someone to go download drivers like
there some idiot when most liky the problem is vista itself!

Your replying to a message, from a thread that was posted 2 months ago. This
was posted before the final version of Vista was released.

still have problems with vista locking up. in xp i was able to go into safe
mode after installing my caytalist software then turn off write combing and
it fixed the problem but in vista all i get in safe mode after installing
caytalist is vgasave and can't fix anything
