    yeah I am having issues with a game crashing for no reason. UT2004 crashed for the first time ever, the other day. Funny thing is I used to play UT2004 on my intel extreme graphics with only minor lag and zero crashes. As far as the pixel shader goes, are you sure the card you have has the right shader model?

    If you're trying to install CCC and not just the driver, that is because CCC requires the .NET framework to be installed. I had that problem when I reformatted a couple weeks ago.

    I also think 6.8 are unstable. Many different problems now and then from BSOD after driver install to lockups with normal frequency changes in NHC. Movie playback freezes if I downclock the GPU and MEM. It works fine with 6.3 for example!

    Cheers,

    I had one BSOD with 6.8, otherwise they are fine.

    I advise against installing the CCC, and just install the driver, then download and install ATI Tray Tools, for CCC options at much less of a system resource.
