6.14.10.6422 Driver Update

External Since: Mar 10, 2004 Posts: 24

In preparation for pulling all my VHS and home movie collection to my
pc (and then to dvd), I began updating several drivers on my system to
ensure I maximum options (according to a variety of sites needed MMC
7.7 or higher and latest video drivers)

I pulled down 6.14.10.6422 for my Radeon 9700 Pro (and TV tuner VE).

After installation, and reboot, everytime I click on any menu (right
click on desktop in order to select properties, right click on the
trash can to empty it, start menu, etc....) it "phases" in and takes
quite a long time.

Is it possible that there is a setting that the new drivers changed
that is causing this. It is both annoying and much slower than it
used to be. I reverted to the previous drivers using the "Roll Back
Driver" button in the RAdeon 9700 Pro Properties, but it is still
doing it.

The other odd thing is that if I do an "about" on the MMC menu bar, it
still is showing v7.6. I didn't expect that.

I'm really hoping this is just an setting that for some reason I'm not
finding.

Thanks
