....i was playing Company of Heroes when my screen went black and all the colours ran, then when i tried to uninstall 8.8 and go back to 8.7 it wouldnt load the drivers, so i checked device manager and it said there was an error and that it couldnt load software. I uninstalled it from there let Vista detect it etc but then it said it failed to install.....is my card broke? If it is a certain company is going to get a mouthful seeing as its only like 3-4months old and its borked! Im using a 3870.

The 8.7 folder must still be in C:\ATI\SUPPORT\8-7_...\ Go there and double click on Setup.exe. Or redownload 8.7.

Although this may have nothing to do with it, It is kind of related to your problem. At work we have about 1000 Gateway mpcs, all with ATI chipsets recently EVERY single one has been having issues with the Catylyst drivers. After hours of fumbling with drivers uninstalling reinstalling new versions old versions, nothing was working. Until we found out thatr Rebuilding thw windows WMI fixes this problem. This is a confirmed fix for XP, so far we have fixed about 300 of the mpcs by rebuilding the WMI and everything is a go. Im not sure if this will work on Vista but its worth a shot. Pleae let me know if this work on vista:D

Trouble is i was playing 8.7 before i updated to 8.8 and my game crashed with a loud screech and windows reported an error with a kernel. So i tried 8.8 and i had the issue i mentioned earlier.
