Re: "display driver atikmdag stopped responding and has successfully recovered" error

I fought this problem for two weeks on my Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I kept downloading ATI older drivers until I stumbled on to this one:

"8-12_vista64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_72276.exe" and it worked for me.

I would download the newer updates and they still caused the same error. The latest version "9-6_vista64_win7_64" released in June finally works without the errors.

I can't say this will work for anyone else as there have been numerous "fixes" that don't work for everyone. Having used ATI cards for years, I'm disappointed in the way AMD hasn't responded to this error that have caused so much consternation among ATI card owners. I just spent $200+ for this card in December so I really didn't want to trash it for a new one quite yet.

Hope this helps someone.
