ALL I Know is I've ALWAYS had trouble with ATI Technologies drivers and software bundles. It's a big mess. I have 3 AIW Radeons, an old RAGE and a RAGE FURY MAX Dual GPU processor video cards. So over the last 5 years I have had to deal with ATI's terrible support and ridiculus programming revision methodologies. It's ubsurd, to call the main display drver file name the same exactly, for a rage128, and a radeon 7500. It leads to major problems especialy if your rage driver is actually newer than your radeon driver. Windows will ASSUME that the rage driver is the best choice, not knowing you are actually changing hardware, that happens to have such uncreative software designers that they can't even come up with a new name for the drivers of a completely new and different product. I've given up on the new Control Panel and gone back to MMC 7.5, from 8.7 "EASYLOOK" is useless anyways. What the heck does IE.HCU have to do with the ATI MMC settings. Here's an error log I get on one WIN2K system everytime I try and ru the launchpad: *** Log Manager 0: Opened on: 10/18/2003 [15:16:27] [15:16:27] ResMngr::LoadObject CoCreate Error: ClassNotReg CLSID: {B6761AC7-0F95-4184-8CEE-0E8495BEBD13} [15:16:27] TvDisp: StartUp: Failed to setup DTV Graph *** Log Manager 0: Closed on: 10/18/2003 [15:22:13] Ato $.53 cents a minute, calling ATI is unproductive most of the time. When the heck are they going to get an 800 number?
