Skype causing display crash with newest AMD driver...

I have two graphics cards, an Nvidia GTX 750 Ti, and an XFX R9 280X. Skype gives me zero problems with the 750 Ti and latest Nvidia drivers, but with the 280X and latest Catalyst drivers from AMD, about 5 seconds after Skype starts up, my display freezes and just displays some crazy lines and colors. To test this, I closed Skype just before it completely started up, and, to my surprise, things ran smoothly, so this has to be a Skype issues with AMD drivers. Before I installed drivers for the 280X, there was no problem with Skype starting up. After, my PC becomes unusable with the drivers and Skype starting up. Any thoughts? I cannot just simply neglect to use Skype. A conflict between Skype and AMD drivers seems to be the only possible explanation if this problem does not occur without the drivers, nor with Nvidia drivers.

Bridge CS4 crashes with last Nvidia driver (195.62)

Sorry for my bad english...
This message because since november I have crashes with Blue Screnn of the Death when I used Bridge CS4, even when no other programs running on my PC.
Or my computer became veru slow when I open Bridge...
Or Error messages saying that Bridge must close because not enough memory (I have 3gO RAM and 512 on my graphic card Nvidia 9500, and not at all used when I have the message....)
I tried many and many things (uninstall and reinstall Photoshop, change preferences of Photoshop, Bridge, change memory in Windows...) and Bridge always crashes after some minutes of use.
I searched in many forums, and saw many people have the same problem, but nobody have the solution.
Yesterday, in the "Event viewer", in "system", I had the message : "the driver nv_disp of the peripherical display \Device\Video0 remained blocked in an infinite curl. It points out a problem with the material or with the driver of the material programming the equipment in the wrong manner"
So I went to a problem with the graphic card.
I found the solution on a forum about Nvidia : "...the problem is that after driver 195.62, sometimes Blue Screen of the Death happens. This crashes happens everytime I close Adobe Bridge, and also in some other occasions too. With the old driver (190.38), dosn't BSOD. Will be great if NVIDIA told it at 195.62 releases, and fix it if possible..."
In fact, I uploaded my GeForce 9500 driver version 6.14.11.7519 to 6.14.11.9562 in november...
I come back to my old driver and have no more problem with Bridge CS4...

Well I have a 9600GT and at the moment I have the v191.07 installed but on checking the Nvidia site today I saw this
This is a WHQL-certified driver for GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 200, and 300-series desktop GPUs and ION desktop GPUs.
New in Version 197.45
Recommended for the best performance with the new GPU-accelerated features in Adobe CS5
RESULT...
Well have tried it and it seems to cure the problem. Opened Bridge and Photoshop CS5 several times, went through hundreds of photo albums, trying to make Bridge crash but it just wouldn't... So for now I'd have to say it works great.

Shockwave 10.3 causes IE crash with QuickTime

Shockwave 10.3 seems to have introduced a problem using
QuickTime cast members. A movie which was working fine before now
causes intermittent crashes (about 25% of the time) on PC IE 6.
I've isolated the two lines of code which trigger the crash to the
following:
video.fileName = videoPath (where "video" is a QuickTime
castmember)
and
if (video.trackCount() = 0) then...
I'm guessing that both of those properties cause the .dcr to
access the external video file... could that be what's causing the
problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Erik

Display bug with new catalyst driver & xorg

Hello everyone,
I have just updated catalyst (fglrx) from fglrx 8.40.4 to catalyst 7.11-1 and Xorg server from 1.2.0-5 to 1.4-5. Indeed I have an ATi Radeon Xpress 1100 (RS485) on my laptop.
Everything is well except...this bad bug :
almost each time a window is created (xterm, dialog box which pops up, firefox ...; there are maybe other trigger events) a strange blurred square appears at the bottom right corner of my screen, and my cursor has a strange trail, as if a piece of widget was attached to it. The cursor trail disappears quickly, but not the square. I have to switch in console mode and to go back to X to make it clear. It is composed of pixels of different colors.
Does someone have the same problem ?
Moreover the driver gl (or gl2) does no more work with mplayer, I have to use the x11 one, but glxgears is ok and I have, according to glxinfo, direct rendering enabled.

There are many problems with the latest AMD xorg driver. To fix the display corruption, add
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
To your fglrx device section in xorg.conf
Also, try disabling AIGLX - it's not working well and is known to cause some problems.
In xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

Webcam Live Pro causes system crash with Windows XP Home

Ever since installing Webcam Live Pro I have been having random system restarts. This ONLY happens when the webcam is being used. It happens when using the Creative Webcam Center or another application. Sometimes the restart will happen after a few minutes, and other times an hour or more. I am running Windows XP sp2 with all patches, and there are no driver conflicts listed in Device Manager. I have the cam set at 60 hz.
Even though there are no listed driver conflicts in Device Manager, there clearly is a driver conflict that occurs from time to time. I have read of other people having this same problem on this forum with Webcam Live Pro. I am using the driver ...0 which is dated 0//2004, and the automatic update program on this web site says that I am using the latest driver. But in the download section of this web site, the latest driver is listed as .0.0.0 and dated November 9, 2004. The driver numbers or dates do not match, and the driver on the web seems to have an earlier number but a later date!?
Does anyone (especially a Creative tech support person who may be reading this post) have any idea what to do? The driver version is one issue. But the big issue is the system crashes.
Best,
CB

Solution! I discovered the problem causing the system crash, and I think it is sufficiently interesting to note here so that others may benefit from what I discovered. First, there is no fundamental problem/conflict with the driver for Webcam Live Pro. The trouble in my instance is that I was running another program that utilized the web cam, and that program conflicted with the Webcam Live Pro program that was constantly running in the system tray. Basically, the program in the system tray is loaded with the set-up for Webcam Live Pro. It constantly monitors the computer system to see if the cam is connected to the computer. When it does this while another program is using the cam, the conflict occurs, causing the entire computer to reboot. The solution is to right mouse click the icon for Webcam Live Pro in the system tray, go to settings, and to remove the check that allows the program to check for the presence of the web cam. Just to be safe, I then also exited the Webcam Live Pro program from the system tray so that nothing from that program could interfere with my use of the webcam using another program.
The result is that the webcam is rock solid, with no system crashes. I have been running it nonstop for hours without a problem.
I hope this helps someone else.
Best,
CB

KokChoy: Control Panel crash with newest PCI drivers

As another user posted, when using the newest PCI drivers posted, in my case, the Xtreme Music X-Fi drivers, marked as 2.8.500, the control panel, crashes or hangs when loading under Windows 7 or windows vista 64 bit.
Can you please confirm or relay to the driver team?

Well John, this will blow your mind I am sure. I download the newest X-FI titanium drivers and unzip them with WINRAR. Then I browse the driver folder inside and update with those. I dont use the setup.exe as it will detect incorrect product. I choose the have disk method and it works brillantly. I used my PCI Fatality PRO with the BETAS and the control panel gave me fits. So I tried as a lark to have disk......to the Titanium drivers and it worked beautifully.
This even gave me VOICEFX for soundFX with my microphone.

AMD Radeon HD5770 with official AMD driver

Hi all,
I just installed Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium on my new 6-core Mac Pro with Boot Camp. So far no problems, except that I can't install the official Catalyst drivers from AMD/ATI's homepage - the installation goes through, however it fails with en error saying that the Video Driver couldn't be installed. I previously installed all Boot Camp drivers.
Anyone had the same problems already? I need the official AMD drivers because I have more than one display and want to group them with Eyefinity for gaming.
Thanx in advance,
CJ

Hi Stefan and others!
Uninstalling all ATI drivers and reinstalling from scratch didn't help - somehow the latest ATI display driver has an issue with the Mac Pro - however what helped was intalling the shipped Apple ATI driver (from Bootcamp) AFTER installing the latest official drivers - that way only the control manager installed first and after the error message the ATI driver that Apple delivers installed fine. So now I have an Eyefinity display array working flawlessly over 2 displays!
Maybe installing only the control center after the Bootcamp drivers would have also worked.
Cheers,
CJ

Catalyst Control Center crashes with new video driver update

Hi Folks,
I just updated to the newest rev of the ATI driver (April 28, 2009). Now, catalyst control center crashes at startup, opening a dialog box that says, "catalyst control center monitoring program has encountered a problem and needs to close".
Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks,

ITunes 9.1 (64-bit) causing BSOD crashes with Windows 7

I installed iTunes 9.1 (64-bit) this evening and my computer running Windows 7 (64-bit) repeatedly experienced the blue screen of death (BSOD). The computer would restart in safe mode. Upon restart, the BSOD would occur again within a few minutes.
iTunes was successfully installed and was operable up until the blue screen.
I completed a system restore and my system is stable once again. However, certain iTunes files were removed and now iTunes will not function.
Does anyone have a link to an iTunes 9.0.3 for Windows 7 (64-bit)?
Has anyone experienced a similar problem and have a solution that allows 9.1 to work without crashing my machine?

FF,
I had the exact same problem. I upgraded iTunes to 9.1 and it caused a BSOD. I booted into Windows Safe Mode (Hit F8 as soon as you see the Windows start up screen) and disabled the itunes services. Rebooted and the system is now working. I'm not sure what the deal is with the iTunes 9.1 but it definately breaks Windows 7.

New collection causes ibooks crash with ios5

The previously installed ones work perfectly, but no new folder is allowed!!
Do someone have an idea??
Thank you,
Anne.

I have to add i did the same upgrade to my friend's ipad: no problem at all with the new collection function!!!

Flash video image problem with newest nVidia driver

I've got a very weird display error since the last update. Basically, whenever I play flash video and afterwards close the browser (chromium), any purely black surfaces will display the full flash player image. The effect is only visible in the "first" window of a xmonad tab, that means if I cycle the window positions it will be in a different window. The others are not affected. When I restart X, I can see the flash video image flashing up shortly on the black screen. Restarting X fixes the issue. I cannot take any screenshot of the problem because the error is NOT visible on the screenshot. Therefore I suspect that some frame buffer used for the flash player is not getting cleared properly after exiting the browser, but it's really little more than a wild guess.
As there are multiple components involved, I'm at a loss of where this might be coming from. I hope someone might be able to shed some light on this situation. Please post here if you have the same problem or have any idea why this happens!
My setup:
-nvidia 260.19.36-2
-flashplugin 10.2.152.27-1
-chromium 9.0.597.94-1
-xmonad 0.9.2-1
-xmonad-contrib 0.9.2-1

if you asking about a bug reported on arch linux bugtracker, then you are doing it the wrong way.
flash and nvidia are closed source, we can't do anything. A better place is to submit bugs to nvidia and adobe.
Now i see that nvidia 270.26 was released. Maybe you want to check that out:

Try now to uninstall IE11 and let Windows to revert your Internet Explorer to the previous IE10 or IE9 version.
In order to uninstall IE11 you should go to Windows Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> View installed updates -> Microsoft Windows -> Internet Explorer 11.

Amber upgrade on Lumia 920 causing display crash

I got the prompt for the Amber upgrade this morning so went ahead with install. Everything installed fine and the phone came back up about 15 mins later. However when I entered the password the screen half-filled with thin vertical red/blue/black lines obscuring the menu options. Went through the usual reset combinations, but it wouldn't go away.
In the end took it down to Carphone Warehouse repair shop and they actually showed some interest as they had never seen anything like it before! It is only 4 months old so under Nokia warranty, but they are going to do a complete software reinstall to see if they can avoid sneding it off to Nokia.
Has anyone else seen this fault after installing Amber?

um...I can say that I had some real burning desires of infatuation, but nothing horizontal!
hopefully carphone warehouse can sus it out for you after a reinstall or two.

Skype BSOD/AMD Driver crashing.

Hi, I have an isse with skype causing problems. When I start skype, the AMD display driver crashes. The screen goes black for a few seconds. Now, after that there are no issues until someone tries to call me or I try to call someone else. Upon making a call, the PC gets a blue screen of death and restarts. Any ideas what it might be?
