443191 2006-04-02 20:43:00 Hey everyone,
Problem: Error screen for VPU recover appears everytime i log into windows, the message reads: 'VPU recover has reset your graphics accelerator - no longer responding to graphics driver commands'.
I believe this is a result of upgrading the drivers, however, prior to upgrading the drivers windows was crashing everytime i right clicked or opened an application. Any suggestions?

I suggest you install a set of drivers maybe one or two releases prior to the one's your using now. If everything is fine then either keep using it or upgrade to the latest drivers to see if the problem still exists.

cheers

Use driver rollback then re-install the new drivers

443194 2006-04-02 21:43:00 Nah, dont roll the drivers back, use Drivercleaner to remove all signs of the drivers . Just make sure you read the instructions on how / and when to run drivercleaner .

Then reinstall .

I had a prob with the latest version of the drivers too . Stupid catalyst centre wouldn't open lol .

So, I went back to the drivers on the cd, that came with the card . They maybe old, but at least it works properly .

443195 2006-04-02 22:57:00 I've used drive cleaner and re-installed, the ati error has gone but i am having the same problems as before i installed the latest driver. whenever i right click or run a program my computer crashes, a microsoft error appears on reboot reading: C:\DOCUME~1\LIL\LOCALS~1\TEMP\WERaa74.dir00\mini04 0206-04.dmp.
and also
C:\DOCUME~1\LIL\LOCALS~1\TEMP\WERaa74.dir00\systda ta.xm
Any ideas?

443196 2006-04-03 00:57:00 Any ideas?Exacltly what driver have you tried, location and filename.
Exactly how did you install the driver?
When you completly remove all drivers and reboot, before you load any ati software do you have any issues loading the programs?

443197 2006-04-03 08:57:00 The driver version is 6.14.10.6451
Location: C\\WINDOWS\system32\
It as installed from CD
and prior to this my PC did crash with the above error, this has happened frequently, I reformatted because i had this problem, reinstalling windows and all the drivers but i still have the same problem.
Any clues?
