Hey
I installed the newest drivers for ATI Radeon 9200 SE, and my MS Word
sometimes crashes... Sometiemes it's really unpredictable. If you have
Catalyst soft installed and VRE ( or something like this ) turn on your
monitor will only turn off, you won't see a blue screen but if you turn off
this option off you will. But the problem still stays what can I do to make
the Word work correctly for everytime? i don't like this Omegadrivers ( with
them it seems everything is ok, but when I scroll the website the text
doesn't scroll it flows I hate this... ). Any ideas ? ( beside come back to
nvidia )

it's a driver issue, the ATI chipset on the 9200 se hates XP.

to verify that it's a driver issue, boot to safemode and try running
word.....

On Omegadrivers it works fine ( so it must be a driver issue ! ). I honestly
don't understand the ATI politics they are making bad drivers for a most
popular system... ?
