No X1950 Pro driver updates either. Still using the same drivers the board
came with. At least ccc is getting updated.

Default Cat 7.3 is out...but not working well under Vista???

I just updated from 7.2 to 7.3 under Vista Home Premium 32 bit and it now
takes a few minutes for the program to start everytime i start Windows....I
uninstalled the last version completely using that program for it, then did
a fresh install and now my system seems slower and often crashes to a
halt...Anybody else experiancing this? I think I might revert back to 7.2
for the meantime.

Did you uninstall, reboot, then reinstall? If not, try it. 7.3 seems
to have made at least one problem go away for me.

Thanks for the respone and sympathy :-)

I made a similar post in a Microsoft newsgroup and got a reply which
ended up pointing me to this site where a hotfix was posted and I
just tried it and it seems to have worked :-)
