Radeon HD3450

I have a Radeon HD3450 and installed the new direct x10 and when I restart my comp, the Catalyst Program fails, it says it won't respond. I did a system restore to before Direct x10 was installed and it works fine. I am talking the latest update for dx10. Any suggestions?

Uhhh...unless I missed something???....Directx10 is native to Vista, with or without SP1. DX10=Vista.

As to why the DX10 error after updating??? Hmmm...that's a new one.

Re: Radeon HD3450

That's not what I meant. I mean maybe he's having a problem with it not having SP1 assuming he doesn't have it. I'm sure he does but before I had SP1, my wei assessment didn't recognize having 10, only 9. Until I installed SP1 with Dx 10.1 did it recognize it. Maybe not having SP1 could be causing a problem is all I'm saying. But again, I'm sure he has it, just a possibility.

Maybe I didn't understand this statement, but -

You are correct, not having SP1 might be causing problems; I agree with you, I’m just saying the notion of getting DX10 only after installing SP1 is false, Vista starts out with DX10. It's backwards compatible with DX9. SP1 might be updating some DX10 files though.

Yeah, to 10.1

Yeah, I didn't word it right. I meant it didn't correctly recognize it for me until SP1 was installed is what I should of said.
