Hi George -
This feels a bit scary then, if I listen to some people, they say "make sure
all your drivers are up to date" but in the case of the ATI drivers it sound
best to leave well alone. I'm trying to sort out this problem I have when
trying to rip music cds, or use Windows Media Player, where my PC keeps
freezing, and was wondering if the ATI drivers might be causing the problem?
The scan of my PC for drivers produced an update driver for my serial bus;
could installing this create problems too?
These websites recommending an update to drivers make it all sound so easy,
but it isn't in reality <smile> -
Andy

| Hi Andy,
|
| You don't need to uninstall the old ATI drivers, but I'd be
| a shade wary about installing new video drivers without
| sighted help to hand. It will most likely break the video
| chain to your screen reader, leaving you without speech, and
| the necessity to re-install your screen reader.

| Hi all -
|
| I'm pasting my message from yesterday here again, as it got
| no responce, and
| I'm sure there are people on this list that can help, so
| please do if you
| can, it's always apreciated.
|
| Start of message:
|
| Hi all -
|
| Ok, a scan of my PC tells me that certain drivers need
| updating, and I'm
| trying to understand quite what to do, and what I need to
| download!
|
| When I click on the link from driveragent.com to update the
| driver, the page
| that comes up says:
|
| "The following packages will provide display drivers and
| capture drivers
| that can be used with various video capture programs."
|
| And then it lists what is in the package, the first thing
| being the display
| driver, is this all I'll need, or will I need the rest of
| the package that
| includes things like 'catalyst control centre' or the 'WDM
| Integrated
| Driver.'
|
| Can I ask too, if I need to uninstall from 'add/remove'
| within the control
| panel, the existing ati drivers that these updates are to
| replace?
|
| Thanks as ever -
|
| Andy
