5.2 drivers crashing my system.
I usally keep my video drivers updated but I missed the first 5.x drivers.
I just updated to 5.2 and now wolfenstein crashes on a regular basis and some games randomly won't even start. Anyone else having this issue? |

Oh just in case anyone is curious, I'm running WinXP SP2 with all the latest
patches, Wolfenstein is 1.41, my video card is the ATI 9600. I played Wolfenstein all the way through about 2 months ago - it didn't crash once. I haven't moved any hardware or updated any other drivers since then except this latest ATI driver. I've turned on and off VPU recover, I set the AGP for 4x. I haven't touched the fast writes yet although I never had to modify them in the past. "boe" wrote in message ... I usally keep my video drivers updated but I missed the first 5.x drivers.

the 5.2's with SP1a completely locked me up after 5-10 mins of MOHHA
Spearhead...hard reset was the only way out.And I have the 9600XT. I realize they recommend SP2 but am happy with my performance now. |

it is just too bad that ATI has fallen to the MS theory of ugrading..if it
keeps up soon we will have no choice in hardware or software. |
