Rare hard lock ups with videos with acceleration with an oldATI Radeon 4870 HD video card in a Windows XP Pro. SP3 machine?
On 1/7/2013 3:25 PM PT, Ed Light typed:
I forgot to follow up! OK, downgrading back to v8.10 showed no more lock ups AND no time/clock slow downs with DVI when playing videos. Over Christmas 2012 break, I narrowed the driver down to v9.4 that was the last driver that did not have problems. :/ I could not figure out what caused these problems in v9.5 release notes. Have you tried 12.4? Are you uninstalling the old drivers in the Win XP program uninstall list, rebooting, then installing the new one? Yep to all. I even used those driver cleaners (Fusion and Sweeper). FYI, it seems like others had this problem according to my old http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?p=1337124889 forum thread (more details than in this newsgroup thread). Oh well, no more upgrading ATI/AMD video drivers for this 4+ years old video card in it. -- "Yeah, what's left of it. I was in the militia -- national guard... That's good!
