The only things I know for sure that have been addressed, is a fix for the stuttering in Freelancer. In addition the stuttering problem as a whole has been looked at and will 'hopefully' be fixed this time around (no guarantee). He did mention that there was quite a few fixes but didn't specify a list."
Now let's hope Nvidia plans to release some new drivers soon as well, its been 3 months already since last official driver was released and new drivers are in development.

Hopefuilly these drivers will actually work with the AIW cards. I haven't had a driver set work correctly since Catalyst 2.3. I keep having to report the same bug over and over again each time a new set comes out. |

Then you are in the minority my friend, because I have noticed a signifigant decrease in the number of people posting up problems on the various ATI help sites I hang at. Really, I have. The catalyst since 3.0 have shown a real improvement in all around compatibility as well as performance.  |

Well I install latest drivers and it doesn't work. I go back to old drivers and it works. Hmm, what do you think could be the problem? I'm talking about the TV/Capture component of the AIW. If you're using it just to play games then I agree with you the newer drivers are better. |

usually the capture drivers doesnt come with the catalysts but are a stand alone package. |

the one where you get the message "invalid page fault in CMR2.exe " this applies to only win98 and vid cards that have dual monitor support. i have a ati 8500le 128mb card and win98 ati's fix is hook up another monitor or upgrade to win xp there are people out there that can't afford that and i am one of them. i think a driver fix would be proper don't u |
