Outdated ATI drivers for T400 crash upcoming Firefox 4 and IE 9

I have a T400 running 32-bit Windows 7. I have downloaded the latest graphics drivers from the support page for my graphic card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series.
The drivers seem to be outdated though, they date 24/08/2009 and have the following version number: 8.641.1.1000.
Firefox 4 and Internet Explorer 9 (both previews) crashes when hardware acceleration is used. I contacted both Mozilla and Microsoft and they both point to the graphic drivers. Is there any plan to release a newer driver?
Bug report Mozilla:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573013
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If I'm not mistaken Firefox 4 and IE9 are both BETA. Meaning your going to get issues. That is why users testing BETA's are to report there issue. So I do not see why they are pointing the finger back to the GPU driver.

  • Flash Plug in is crashing after recent upgrade. I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, still crashing. Firefox and Plug-in are current. What else can I do?

    Flash Plug in is crashing after recent upgrade. I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, still crashing. Firefox and Plug-in are current. What else can I do?

    What I suggest you do here is to use Adobe's uninstaller tool to uninstall Flash first of all: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Then reboot, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and reinstall it.
    I notice too that you have an outdated version of Shockwave For Director. You can update that via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

  • Oracle financials crashes in firefox and ie

    Hi,
    I'm new so thanks in advance for any help.
    oracle financials (OF) crashes both firefox and IE. I've changed jinitiator versions, jre versions, firefox (3.5.2 and 3.0.x) and IE versions (7 and 8) and still OF crashes the browser. There's no error message- just a window that says the browser crashed. I've installed different versions of everything in an effort to match the configurations of different computers on our network where OF is working fine, and it still crashes for this one user at the same window- after the responsibility page.
    I gave the user a newly imaged computer and everything worked fine for a few days. Today it just quit working for her. One thing she said she had done right before everything stopped working was run ms access. She didn't have the new laptop's odbc configured yet so she didn't even do anything other than open the software. It seems like these things are related, but I don't know. She's able to log into OF, but as soon as she clicks a link like "Batch" and the java magic starts the browser goes kaput.
    I don't have any experience with OF so other than changing the jre, jinitiator or browser version I'm at a loss. The IT department is stumped since it works for other people.
    Does this strike a chord with anyone?

    Fixed.

    Java (traversed to the java.exe through C:\Program Files\Oracle\bin
    Probably not a supported fix, but she's up and running again. If anyone has comments, please let me know.

    I have reinstalled iTunes twice and still get the message.

  • LabVIEW drivers for Agilent Noise Source 346B and Signal Generator E8257C-520

    Could anyone please tell me where to find LabVIEW drivers for Agilent Noise Source 346B and Agilent Signal Generator E8257C-520. I did not find them on NI's web site. Thank you!

    To my knowledge, the Agilent 346B Noise Source is not a programmatically controllable instrument and therefore we can't create an instrument driver. I suppose it is possible to be controlled through an instrument (like the PSG) but I don't see any documentation on this.
    As for the E8257C, we are insterested in providing a LabVIEW driver for this instrument series. Let me know if you are interested in assisting our development effort by loaning us the instrument.

  • Serious W7 Bug - ALL ATi Drivers for Thinkpads /w Switchable Graphics Technology bricks OS.

    Alas, i have found one serious bug for my Thinkpad.
    It comes with Switchable Graphics Card Technology, with an Intel GMA 4500MHD and ATi Mobility Radeon 3470 paired together.
    I have initially installed Pre-RTM 7260(ok, i know it's leaked), and faced the problem for the first time after installing the ATi drivers from either Windows Update OR ATi's website. However i have downgraded back to Release Candidate as there was stability issues with EXPLORER.exe
    Anyway, surprising what i've though to be a show-stopper bug was also present in RC 7100. After installing(or rather, midway through) the driver installation, the screen blinks for a moment and after that, Explorer.exe is nowhere to be found with only wallpaper. OS seems to be bricked as restart does nothing. Only a System Restore prior to installation would solve the issue.
    After diagnosing the problem, i have found the issue to be with the Switchable Graphics Card system. In BIOS, it was set to Swithable Graphics, with OS Detection set to Enabled, Thinkpad LCD Display(for output). I tried to set the graphics to either Discrete(ATi) or Integrated(Intel) but when i booted the system up it was in SVGA resolution and DXDIAG stating no graphics found. When it was in Discrete, i tried to install the ATi drivers once again, and although installation was successful, after restarting the same thing happened.
    To be fair, i have repeated the drivers installation EXACTLY the same for both Windows 7 Builds(7100 RC and 7260 Pre-RTM) and the same problem occured. I have also tried to install the ATi drivers before the Intel Chipset(and basically the rest) and it's the same nevertheless.
    I believe that this is a serious issue with Switchable Graphics Technology for Windows 7 Beta, since we have to make do with the generic Microsoft display adapter alone. I hope Lenovo engineers can put priority a solution for this as soon as possible.

    This is my updates.
    PS: The Ati card is showing a triangle icon in Device Manager too, but i guess updating it brings the same bricking result.

    Sorry to hear you are having difficulties.
    When I installed RC1 (build 7100), it came with a built-in driver that worked just fine for the discrete graphics in my W500.
    A few weeks later, I installed the current release Vista driver for integrated graphics (this one) and it is working just fine as well.  Installing the Lenovo driver gave me the ATI control panel (not sure what use that is), otherwise, it didn't affect performance either way.
    I have switchable graphics turned off in the BIOS, OS detection turned off, and have the machine set to use the discrete graphics only.  I think it would be a bit much to expect either Microsoft or Lenovo to support the switchable graphics this early in the development of Windows 7.  Besides, the discrete graphics doesn't eat up the battery that much - I still get 3 hours of battery life, which is sufficient for my needs.
    Maybe try turning switchable graphics and switchable graphics detection off in your BIOS, that might get you running again.

  • Testing: ATI drivers for xorg7 - packages renamed.

    I've just uploaded a new set of ati drivers *hopefully* compatible with xorg7, to testing. It's impossible for me to test, I havn't got an ATI card, so your feedback is vital.
    What's also important about this is that they use a new naming setup.
    The userspace tools and xorg stuff are in 'ati-drivers',
    The kernel modules in ati-drivers-arch, and ati-drivers-archck.
    So to install ati drivers, you are best to pacman -S ati-drivers-kernel, where kernel is your kernel. This will bring in ati-drivers too.
    After installing, it is important that you make a symlink from /usr/X11R6/lib/modules to /usr/lib/xorg/modules, othweise direct rendering will not work.
    Thankyou for your patience.

  • Proprietary ati drivers for an old computer

    Hello all, as this is my first post; I've recently been getting a newly acquired, but fairly old laptop (a Dell latitude d600) set up with arch linux, and have been going through all sorts of fun problems. I've been enjoying arch, and the very strange new experience of ratpoison, and the feeling of getting to work out so many problems with old hardware. One I'm pretty sure I don't quite have the expertise for however, is my video card.
       As it is right now, for my card Radeon Mobility 9000 - rv250, I've installed the xf86-video-ati drivers. However, I'd like to have the proprietary drivers installed (I'll admit, mainly for playing minecraft), and after reading through the wiki, it seems the proprietary drivers no longer support my chipset. There seem to be packages in the AUR, namely catalyst-old, that may serve my purposes, but installing them has proved to be a bit of a headache. Also it's 4:30am here, and I'm just about done searching around for fixes. I assume it can be done, but I've so far been lacking in google-fu prowess/technical ability. Excuse me if I've missed something.
    Thanks guys.

    Afaik the proprietary drivers don't support those old cards anymore, they consider the open source drivers the "official" ones. You could of course install older versions of the driver, but trust me, you don't want to do that, they are 1. crap and 2. they don't support the most recent version of xorg, so you won't be happy with them no matter what you do.

  • [Athlon64] RS482M4 ATI drivers for XP 64bit won't load

    I have downloaded the XP64 bit drivers for the RS482M4 board on MSI and the setup fails on the driver with a message, "inf not found".  The box is titled Thunk.exe.  It is followed by another message that says failed to update the registry.  I have tried this several times and have also tried downloading the drivers for xpress 200 from ATI as well and get the exact same error.
    I have a the RS482M4 board with an AMD 64 3500+ processor and Windows XP 64.  Currently the system is running with the standard VGA drivers included with Windows.  Anything I can do to get the ATI drivers to load?  Is this a known issue?  Apparently all works fine with the 32 bit version of Windows XP.

    Try unpacking the drivers and run the setup on the unpacked dir, sometimes that happens 

  • New updated ATI drivers for MBP

    Hi!
    I would like to know where I could find new drivers for the ATI chip? When I play Half Life 2 the system asks for updated drivers, but when I look around at www.ati.com/drivers I can´t find any drivers that fit my system....
    They have a support site for ATI Mobility Radeon, but they don´t support Apple..
    Does anyone know how to find the latest drivers?
    MacBook Pro 15 2,16Ghz   Windows XP  

    If you want a tiny bit better preformance, though more for the fact of better stability and the possibility to overclock it to the 'proper' clocks, i suggest the omega drivers. www.omegadrivers.net - simple, and easy to install. They are the latest catalysts also from when i last checked. They also wont give you a hassle if you overclock teh card, unlike teh apple ati ones
    good luck!

  • ATI Drivers for WINXP64

    just the last thing i need for a kick ass 64bit windows xp (hang on!?!) system is some OpenGL ATI graphics drivers for me radeon 9700Pro
    ANYONE HELP!
    PLS?

    yeah its well bogus bas
    Fill out the word document form - fax it back to us - fax it back to you - then email or copy - LOL!!! - I gave up when I saw the type of questions they asked!
    ok - well as far as i have gathered from windows support forums and planetamd64 is that ATI is being all secretive and crap about it - there were sum beta drivers posted on planetamd64 forums but they were quickly forced to remove them.
    A statement issued by ATI - and also in their FAQ's (me tinks) not too long ago said that they would only release BETA versions to registered BETA testers and they would do no such official release UNTIL windowsXP64 bit edition is actually launched - EVEN MORE BOGUS!!
    So pls - anyone whos got a copy of dem mentioned drivers sort me out pls!!!!!
    i know someone out theres got em :>
    heh - cheeky - but wot the eck - u dont get if u dont ask ;>

  • ATI drivers, games are crashing

    Hi,
    I've got a new 24" iMac and i've got a problem
    with the ATI drivers.
    Bootcamp1.4/2.0-drivers haven't worked at all,
    Games like Enemy Territory: Quake Wars couldn't
    start "The current video card / driver combination does not support the necessary features: GLARB_occlusionquery"
    then i tried official(mobility modded) and omega drivers,
    "Doesn't support wglChoosePixelFormatARB".
    Then i tried this instructions:

    http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1017&message=24987376
    and Quake Wars started. I was even able to play Half-Life1-based games like
    Team Fortress Classic.
    But now there is another problem, my games are crashing after an indefinite amount of time.
    I played ET:QW and it crashed after ~10 minutes, i played Team Fortress 2 and
    it crashed after ~7 minutes, Portal even crashed after ~3 minutes.
    What to do now, i just reinstalled Windows 2 days ago,
    so don't force me to do it again.
    Thanks,
    myuu
    PS: I downloaded Bootcamp 2.0-drivers through torrent,
    so don't wonder, even if i use OSX Tiger at the moment.

    I tried installing omega drivers the same way
    but it still crashes after some minutes.
