> ATI Catalyst 13-9 New Drivers Now Out

Did you install them? If so, can you check some of these games:
a. Age of Empires 1, Outlaws, Starcraft;
b. Soulbringer, Max Payne 1, 2?

Group a. was broken since 13.6 betas
Group b. - since 13.8 (but do not work with 13.4 too)

I do not have any of those games - not installed now anyway.

I have installed 13-9 & in the few days since all seems fine.
Just installed it straight over the previous driver.

I'm surprised you have as many problems,
perhaps there is something other than Graphic Drivers at fault ?
Run Windows Test DXdiag ? 
Look through all your Catalyst Control Panel settings ?
Completely uninstall the Driver & Control Panel & then reinstall ?

You can check Steam's forums for Max Payne 1, 2 - it is not only me.

For a while I stick to 13.5 beta 2 as less problematic out of all drivers
that can run 7790.

ATi is notorious for breaking support for older games as they tweak
their drivers to be acceptable for newer ones.

Since AMD didn't fire off the driver team when they acquired ATi, this
didn't change, nor did all the other bad driver issues Ati has had since
cards had less than 1 meg of ram.

Which is why I still refer to them as ATi - AMD can actually write
drivers and do shit, ATi never could.
The saddest thing about the acquisition is AMD using that catalyst
installer abomination to install their motherboard drivers.
Used to be you'd just install the driver, now you have to install
catalyst, (then reboot?) then catalyst HAS to update itself to the
latest version and reboot, and then finally you can install the drivers.

The absolute opposite of progress.

Andrew ;) ...I've read your Forum posts.

Its the use of PAE - Physical Address Extension.
Its just is not going to work in the way you want to.

At least completely disable it & see if the problems go.

Time to get a 64 Bit version of Windows ;)
