It also no longer freezes the primary display. I experienced problems with 9.8 and F@H when I'd click "Display", but everything seems to be in order with 9.9s. Good work ATI.

Re: ATI Catalyst™ 9.9 Display Driver for Windows Vista/Win 7

The driver couldn't be installed(no specific error message) normally over the 9.8-hotfix(v8.640), but installing the oldschool way through the device manager worked.

I'm curious about what the Avivo Video setting "Enfore Smooth Video Playback" does and where its effect would be noticed. It doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere.

Re: ATI Catalyst™ 9.9 Display Driver for Windows Vista/Win 7

I don't have the games it is focused on, so no reason for me to download 9.9 . 9.8 work fine. I have to say, AMD are doing a fine job with their drivers.

Re: ATI Catalyst™ 9.9 Display Driver for Windows Vista/Win 7

Try to set your desktop resolution to something other (smaller) than the native resolution of the monitor and try again. I don't have 7 or this problem, but someone else did this to fix it.
