One of the new beta CCC 12.6 fixes is the sudden freeze and BSOD when using Eyefinty, but your problem is the "Driver stopped....".
This may a simple problem and you'll get past it easily, Install the latest WinInstaller, .NetFrameWork, C++ from Microsoft website.
Then Express uninstall all your AMD drivers and install the latest CCC 12.6 Beta.
Hey ilysaml--
I did everything recommended and now it works--Left 4 Dead 2 still froze up in one instance, but I was running it absolutely maxed out across all three monitors rather than recommended (or rational) settings. It also won't work if I try and do anything to overclock it--I'm not convinced it's a driver failure at that point though, or if it's just a cheap (so to speak) card.
12.6 allows me to play the games--I prefer performance over appearance, so I'm happy. I play on acceptable settings and get 50-60 FPS.
Thank you for your help.
