    New Detonator driver (29.42) available.

    But the wrong (old) drivers were installed. I would expect a more detailed error message like you have the wrong OS or this card is not made by ATI but by the cheap second tier China men. (who we (i.e. ATI) will never provide the full multimedia suite for BTW)) Very unprofessional. SYROB
