I'm having issues with the Radeon 9800 Pro Drivers....

The program I am testing uses a lot of graphics and upon load the graphics
are freezing on the first frame, upon change of views the drivers are not
updating the video display...

I have tried both the MSFT drivers for the 9800 and the ATI drivers and both
behave in the same way...

Will Windows XP drivers for the Radeon work in Vista Beta 2?

I have the same video card by the sounds Steve... Everything else works
fine, it's just this one program I'm running which is very video card
intensive...

I used the WDDM drivers as well as the Radeon Drivers that are built for
Beta2 5384.

I did decide to force the Catalyst 6.5 drivers for XP to run the video card
and this has at least given me functionality back in the program, no more
frozen screens...

I have notified the software developers of the issue and hopefully they'll
talk with both the Vista guys as well as the guys at ATI and build a new
driver soon...

Only thing I need to get going now, is to get the CCC working so I can turn
on AA, and AF...

Then it's on to tracking down my internet networking issues...

Use OE m8 Or "Windows Mail" as it's now called. Basic but gets the job
done!

Try using PowerStrip v3.66 build 564 (x64 beta) to handle all your AA/AF/IQ/Vsynch, etc. It's the only app that's working for me on 7800GT under Vista x64. ATiTool, RivaTuner, etc. partially work but aren't reading clocks and can't manipulate optimizations at all.
