Game Text is Corruped on Windows 7!?

[Snacko]

I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and the Catalyst 9.11 which their site says is for Windows 7 64 bit.

Looks like a driver issue to me. Try uninstalling the current one and using a recent Vista driver instead. Failing that try an XP one.

Just check that your desktop settings for text size is set to default or 100%.

Right click on desktop, screen resolution, "make text and other items larger or smaller"

When I exit to desktop in game the resolution is the same as the game and some icons aren't visible, I though I could work around that by changing the above setting.

Didn't take effect till reboot (by then I forgot I did it) and all kinds of strange things happened to Freetrack display, some of it looked like that.

Took a while to figure out.

Yea, it's already set to Smaller which it says is 100%.

Well, I just tried to install the 64bit 9.10 Cats and the installer said it was designed for Windows XP/2000 and cannot be installed.

Well, FYI for anybody else who may have this problem.

I told the AMD ATI Support site that I was running Vista 64bit and then there was a link at the bottom of the 9.11 (current) download page for Previous Drivers.

One thing is for sure, with Win 7 you must install drivers with Admin privs by right clicking and running as administrator, otherwise some kooky stuff can happen.

Found this with the original 7 ATI drivers. (to be fair 7 has pretty good drivers already installed as ATI themselves admit albeit without the control panel).

Darn, I don't think I did that.
