    Strange. For me, WoW is smoother than eggs on 9.1.

    Yeap its smooth but every 30-60mins or so i get the #132 error. Which from googling it seems like a common error with the 9.1 since a lot of people had the problem with the newest drivers. So far never got the error again after i went back to 8.12

    :) 8.12 on Vista is the rul0r! On W7 the W7 Beta driver scores (@ my m17) the highest ...

    W7 Beta, as far as I know, is a modifyed 8.12 :rolleyes:

    Greetings
    Julian

    Edit: today new top W7 score :p *increased by 1*
    1280x768
    12.395
    12.396

    I guess I have to buy the full version to select 1280x720 and hit 12,4XX :p

    The 9.2 does not work on my alienware M17 crossfire 3870.... I properly uninstall everything but when I launch the installer, evern though it proposes me to install drivers+software, I get an error at the end of the setup saying that it could not install the drivers..... I had to reinstall former driver 8.12....

    Cant wait :p Although i read a lot issues about these catalysts. For eg one card always run at full speed even while on desktop, which generates a lot more heat and a few more than cant remembers, its in ATI's forums :p

    Hey!

    I've been having some problems running games stable lately. I'm using E's 9.1 and almost every game I've tried crashes into desktop after approx. 0.5-1h playtime.

    So I thought about reverting back to 8.12, at least they worked like a charm. Now I just bumped into a minor annoyance: when I start computer I get an error message whining about "MOM.implementation not found". I tried to google it and it's something related to catalyst control center. Anyone know how to kill this problem?

    Thanks!

    Since 8.12 used to work just fine they still should. Just make sure you do a proper uninstall/install.

    Uninstall your current ATI driver, restart and go into the save mode, run Driver Sweeper and clear whatever its left, delete the ATI folder in program files as well, restart back into the normal mode and install the 8.12's.

    Yes that is exactly what I did. There's lots of other people with the same problem when switching ATI drivers but no good info available, how to counter that "MOM.implementation" error.

    it, i know how to fix this error... for those that need it fixed. the 'MOM' file is a framework file, just repair framework then its fixed. even vista USERS. framework 3.5 from the microsoft site.

    after you have repaired it you might get another error.

    'CLI implementation' instead.

    first of all, make sure you go to folder options and check that you can see all folders which are hidden.

    UNINSTALL CATAYST CONTROL CENTRE FIRST!

    1)Check that (Document and Settings)/(User)/AppData/Local/ATI/ACE is empty

    Check that (Program Files folder )/ATI Technologies/ATI.ACE is empty

    ATI folders with (1) infront for duplicates. delete them all too ...


    2) go to windows / assembly there should be about 818 unwanted keys all related to catayst. Check (Windows folder)/Assembly folder to see if there's any files with Public Key Token of "90ba9c70f846762e" delete them all!. sort them to make it easy.


    now install catayst it should be working fine

    sorry about the late info hope it helps someone

    Ok.. here's the NEW 9.3 ATI HD3870 mod but I havent added any performance tweaks yet. First, I wanna make sure it installs properly without hiccups.

    these are for 64bit Vista.. just download the ATI Drivers from here(not the CCC & driver full suite):
    http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?driver=VideoCard/vista64-components

    Download the CCC seperately from the same link..

    Uninstall ATI drivers.. extract new ATI drivers and throw these 2 .infs inside the \9_3_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH6A_INF folder to replace the ones currently there.
    64bit Vista & Win7 infs

    Install driver using have disk method and point it to the CH_76829 driver for Vista or the C7_77072 for Win7, then check device manager to make sure it installed properly. Now install CCC without rebooting.. should all be there as 9.3 now! Hope it works out :)

    Oh, also..you can try downloading the full driver/CCC combo package and just replace the .infs - not sure which method is better as I no longer can test. Feedback plz?

    Side note - once this is confirmed working I will also hit up 32bit. I need someone to confirm the 64bit installs flawlessly. Also, need to make sure fullscreen scaling works properly. Thanks!

    MR.Moo I didn't find your m17 temps thread so I'll just post it here I hope you'll not hate me for missusing this thread!

    In comparison I let my "old" desktop run the same savegame for 8h aswell :)

    I have no notebookcooler, I ony put some "stuff" under the back feeds of the m17 to give the air more space to flow ;)

    I am impressed of the m17 cooling system :cool:
