    Could you go into detail about why they are not working? ATI's site doesn't make you go through an authentication process for ATI MR Vista drivers like they do for XP drivers.

    You could always try updating your drivers through Windows Update.

    Exactly like Chaz said. I have no problems with Vista drivers whatsoever. Drivers are stable and fast. Even CCC is started and works very fast in Vista.
    I just go to ati.amd.com and download the latest Vista 32bit drivers.

    If you update the drivers and install an updated Microsoft WDM driver be prepared on some bad performance in games, but Windows will surely work fine.

    Cheers,

    Ivan

    So are we to download the desktop Vista drivers? I don't see MR specific ones.

    Thanks,

    That link points to the desktop Vista drivers so I assume those are the correct ones.
