overdrive gone from catlyst control centr,
I hasve a X1950XT ATI. I used the Overdrive option in the CCC (catylst control center) for a few games. All the sudden, the overdrive option in the graphic's settings is gone! There two days ago. Didn't change anything that I can think of.
I tried a system restore-no go! I read that ATI Smart had to be started in services for it to work. But when I try to start it I get a message that it will not start because some services that have no work to do will shut off (or not start in this case), so I need to learn more about that, but I am dubious that it is the problem. Any ideas? |

Thank you Pam,
I just turned on the ATI Hotkey Poller service. As it was disabled. I know that the overdrive works because It worked a couple weeks ago. Thanks you for the help B |

Pam
Turned out it was the ATI Hotkey Poller service. For some reason when I turned it on from msconfig/servises it would not stay on after a reboot, but when I set it to auto in the services
window in admin tools it stayed on and so did the ATI Overdrive. What kicks it off I have no idea. Thank you B |

That would be a negitive Pam.
Since you seem to know your stuff, what drivers are you using for windows 7? and does CCC work with 7? Thanks again PS: Its kind of funny how few ppl knew the ATI Hotkey Poller answer. I looked around quite a bit before finding an answer. Just a thought. |

Here's a nice review about what ATI did with drivers for Win 7 : http://www.rage3d.com/articles/catal.../index.php?p=1
I've been asking my customers who use the Win 7 beta to keep their drivers updated and, so far, no reports of problems with 9.8 . edit : There have been tech post at Hulu Discussions about problems with drivers and the desktop beta, mostly hardware acceleration problems, that involve nVidia cards but there were also a few about Radeon cards and the CCC so I thought I'd ask.

thanks again
Pam, Thanks once again.
I have been using 7 for awhile now but have not had success with the ATI CCC. The drivers themself have been working fine. For what its worth, I really like 7, and I detested vista. Brian |
