Strange, it works for me and it isn't a restricted page. Clear out your browser cache. Here is the meat of the post:

Get back to a stable state with 8.9 or 8.10 drivers....then disable crossfire
disable crossfire
disable crossfire
just to be safe.....disable crossfire
remember....do it now...disable crossfire
Install the latest .net versions, chipset drivers, windows service packs, c++ runtimes, directX redistributables if you really feel you must - optional
Dump all registry references and files that have anything to do with ati from you computer if you feel you must (standard vga drivers) - optional
Install the 8.11 "driver ONLY" package (the suite will probably work as well but I haven't tried it).
Read the install log to make sure everything was successful.
Restart the computer...you will blue screen at the normal logon.
Goto safe mode using the F8 key before windows loads.
In safe mode, right click "computer" (on the start menu or desk top) and select "Manage"
Expand "services and applications"and Click "services"
Listed on the right is all the services....find the ATI External Event Utility....right click and select "properties"
Stop the service if necessary and change the startup type from automatic to disabled.
Restart the computer and do what ever it is you people do with your computers
Yes thats it.....you're now up and running again. You traveled round the world a dozen times to take one step to the side.
WARNING: your system will now be fully operational and you can install the ccc kit if you like. This will be fully functional but you have to restart for crossfire enable/disables to take effect.....and thats the cause of the problem in a round about way. If you benchmark now, your 3dmark06 scores will be 500-1000 points down with the event utility disabled. You can now switch the utility back on and your marks will instantly rise 500-1000 points. When utility is disabled ccc takes ages to load up. When utility enabled ccc loads rapidly. BUT IF YOU HIT THE CROSSFIRE BUTTON WITH EVENT UTILITY RUNNING.....YOU WILL INSTANTLY BLUE SCREEN! You can use any other feature of ccc including overclocking (overdrive) with the event utility enabled....but dont touch that crossfire button without stopping the utility first.

Tried them in GTA4 and the same perforamance , 8.11 was all good but i expected more perf. from this , nothing , i guess i need to upgrade the CPU , video card wasn't a problem in the first place :).
I found one error , locks up with a white screen in combination with gigabyte's overclock tool so now i have to use riva tuner to apply the overclock.
I will test with crysis to see if any improvement has been made , they claim 13% but i hope

I just updated to this beautiful driver...

It's just awesome; haven't tried the Stream Processing stuff yet (won't work on my HD2600 anyways I guess), but in Far Cry 2 I noticed an around 2-3 fps increase in normal gameplay over the 8.10 and generally it is much more stable...

Hell, it is the only driver that remembers what I set in the avivo-options since I have my HD2600, when I go into hibernation...

Great stuff, gonna keep this one until SP2 or even longer if it doesn't cause any problems with it. I don't expect to see any more performance improvements for my HD2600 anyways.

No improvement in crysis warhead , the same results as 8.10 , 8.11 and now 8.12.I guess if Nvidia says they released a driver that improve perf. by xx% Ati has to follow , no matter if the improvements are real or not it must be good for the sales.
3dmarks improvement don't count , they are not games.

If anyone is interested in the folding performance I just read this over at the folding forum:

foldingforumadmin said:
6.23 will work fine and is tested against the dlls supplied with the client. 8.12 contains updated dlls that we will switch over to at a later date, so for now you will not see a performance change with 8.12 until that switch occurs and/or the newer cores are made public.

Topic can be found here: http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=7402

Seems to be until we get a new core the 8.12 drivers won't make a difference (they don't btw).

Why does installing these damn drivers have to be rocket science. It took me 3 hrs to get this garbage to install right. Now I don't even feel like testing them.

Trial & error :toast: I even gave up 2 or 3 times during the process to go vent. Looking at my poor monitor @ 1600x1200 for so long was just too depressing to leave be.

I ended up installing cat 8.10 then uninstalling the driver & then installing the 8.12 driver. The last few drivers have been giving me nothing but guff. What happened to the perfect 8.8 driver that you didn't need to reboot, screw around with taking out cards & cables, etc.

That does sound annoying. Knock on wood... I've been issue free when installing any drivers yet. It doesnt matter if I removed everything and installed or simply installed over the old pack, things have been working. I did screwup a bios mod on both card that took me several hours to correct :shadedshu

I'm going to just install over the 8.12 RC3 and see what happens.

I had 8.10 installed and, to install 8.12, i just did it without un-installing the others first: no reboot required.

Usually, though, i do it this way:

- go to control panel
- run "ATI Catalyst Install Manager"
- choose option "express un-install ALL ATI Software"
- reboot
- install new drivers
- reboot

Simple.

That's the same as me (except for the Vista SP2 part): this has always worked for me.

On 2 occasions though, i installed without un-installing old drivers first and didn't have to reboot: i was successfull in both times. 1 of them was with 8.10 to 8.12 but i don't recall the other one :(
