Hello all,
I installed an ati x1600 pro card (512mb) after installing vista beta 2. Aero works just fine now. Had some trouble with tv playback in mediacenter, hickups and shutdowns. Also wmv and rm files didnt play anymore in media and realplayer. This was with the ms vista drivers (7.7.9.0) The included cd with drivers didn't install the drivers and catalyst, intalled the drivers manually (ati 8.25) all workin fine but still no catalyst. Downloaded the latest drivers (8.26) from ati website, catalyst working but same hickups in tv in mediacenter. Rolled back to ati 8.25 tv fine again also mediaplayer and realplayer. But i have no more thumbnails from pictures in my "pictures" folder (not in any folder). They where visible with my 128 mb radeon 9250card before. viewing options are set to " large thumbnails" anyone knows this problem and what to do about it ??

Vista and ATI x1600 pro
hi Hilbert i saw your post, i have the same card (although 256 mb version) + driver troubles. the latest ATI catalyst drivers install OK but i get no Aero. the windows driver i have is 8.26 but that gives the same results. can i ask where did you get the 8.25 driver from? i've looked around on the net and all i can find is 8.25 for linux... could you post a link? or mail me the driver files? tim at mackey dot eye eee
cheers tim
