I have a very annoying problem with my ATI 7000 64MB DDR RAM video card. Before catalyst drivers version 3.6 everything is ok. But when i install newer catalyst drivers (at the moment i have 5.10) i can not play any type of video file(avi,mpg...) on a a player that uses overlay (almost all do). The computer completely freezes as soon as the movie starts (i can't even press ctrl-alt-delete). The only way i can view the video is to turn of directx (through dxdiag.exe) but this way i can't play games and the video players don't use overlays so the image is crappy.

I had different problems with the old drivers.With Catalyst 3.6
When i use some application that uses the 3D capabilities of the video card, for example Google Earth or even a simple OpenGL application i write (a cube rotating) the speed is something like 0.01 fps and the whole PC is like frozen,it takes 1 min to show the start menu. With the new drivers this is not an issue, these apps fly.
Can someone help?
 
I don't think the newer drivers work with the older radeons all that well. I had a 7500 and I had all kinds of problems with any driver over 4.12. You may want to try them.
