[marcus]

As topic really, noticed it earlier today.

Does anyone know if it eliminates the colour problems when running movie files?

edit - I'm being ****ing blind today, I tell you.

colour problems? like, they're a bit washed out compared to the monitor? (i'm using component via the dvi port)
otherwise, juddering is more of a problem for me really, not sure if that's because of the driver though.

[t-dog]

also, anybody recommending downloading the catalyst control center?
think i've tried something like that before, and it was this awful very slow working interface, very confusing was basically just crap.

[eastyy]

Well when i used media player or ati file player the colours are all screwed up like some psychedelic trip or something (mostly colours red blue and green i think)

[FreelancePolice]

you need to update your windows media player rather than your graphics drivers there

[eastyy]

Ok just thought it was weird that in only happened with 5.7 and not previous drivers

Eastyy - I get that too. I've got a 9700pro All-in-wonder...I thought it might be the AIW bit that's the problem. You can get rid of it by turning off hardware accelleration in media player. It's been happening for me since I got the card (about a year) so not just in 5.7...
Edit: And I'm using the newest media player 10 I think.

Ahh ok thanks

mine is a 9800 aiw i shall try that thanks

Only problem is without hardware decoding you can't play those HD videos very well, or at least I can't anyway. I can have em smooth and in green-o-vision or jerky with proper colours...not ideal. So if anyone knows a better solution - give us a shout!

I've found that since installing these BF2 is running an awful lot slower...bloody PC's.

It detects my radeon 9550 as a radeon 9550se. The only drivers that dont do this are the ones that came with it.

[Hohum]

It shouldn't make any difference though, performance should remain the same.
