    I installed the 9.2 catalyst + driver and it messed things up big time, so I got rid of it and installed the original driver from Sony site, but it didn't come with the catalyst panel. Is there a way I can get it?

    Thanks,
    - Eli

    I don't know where to get it, but this is the version that shipped with my SR290. (vista HP x64).

    Thanks. I can't tell which version that is, either =/ Seems to work fine without it, except I have less control over the device...

    Yea, that's what I did when installing 9.2, but it seemed to disable Onenote's Pen function for some reason. If I click on the Pen, so I can draw/write on a Wacom tablet I picked up, the software freezes up. I know there seems to be an illogical correlation between the two, but I uninstalled the Catalyst and reinstalled the old drivers and it fixed it. I'm not sure if this is an issue with UAC or not (UAC was reenabled after the install, so I had to disable it again).

    I dug a little deeper and found this:

    Code: 
    Driver Packaging Version	8.513.1-080717a1-067445C-Sony	
Provider	ATI Technologies Inc.	
2D Driver Version	7.01.01.798	
2D Driver File Path	/REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/CLASS/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0000	
Direct3D Version	7.14.10.0597	
OpenGL Version		6.14.10.7770	
Catalyst® Control Center Version	2008.0717.2343.40629
    I also have the catalyst setup install file(s) in my ati directory if you want me to send them to you.

    It's setup.exe (file version 3.0.682.0)
