However, I do not have a Dell computer and I did not have the Catalyst Software Suite before, I had older drivers. And upgrading to the latest Software Suite (6.11) available for my ATI Radeon 7000 card did not help. Also using a restore point I had set before installing SP3 did not do any good either.

I contated ATI support (now AMD), but they told me that my graphics card is too old to be eligible for any kind of support.

(

I really need to rotate my desktop screen! If anyone comes up with a solution, please post it here and/or send me a message. Thank you!

Cat 6.11 is dated Nov. 15, 2006 and the driver should be fine for your card. Did you have this issue before updating to SP3?

EDIT: ATI Catalyst Unified Software Suite 8.2 might be a bit new for your card

As you know with the HP computers SP3 have alot of probs

just because HP put the intel basic drivers for the AMD cpus ... really dumb from HP

I had an older driver when I installed SP3 (which started the problem). I hoped that the newer driver (6.11) would help, but it did not.

No, before installing SP3 everything worked fine.

Yes. I tried installing 8.x, but the installation failed. There is onviously a hardware check during installation.

Hmmm ....

If this occurred after upgrading to SP3 then it must have something to do with that. I have it installed on my other machine and have been having issues running some utilities and programs and thought it was the HD ... its getting old. But now I wonder

Hmm.. That's really odd.

How about trying a Catalyst 7.x driver?

6.11 is the last one available for my graphics card.

Definitely. No doubt.

For those who have Dlink wireless USB adapters and SP3 together, be careful, because there are serious issues in the drivers inside. My notebook with SP3 inside isn't working properly with the Dlink wireless adapter despite the new drivers from the website as well.

It just hangs there and the shutdown process is flaky.

Later I purchased another wireless adapter, from a different brand and it works OK on that. Dlink should rectify this issue some more in the meantime!
