Now, go to this page HERE and download and install the Microsoft .net framework. It's required for the use of the Catalyst drivers. After installation, restart your computer. Try again to uninstall the drivers that you have now (via Add and Remove programs). If it won't let you uninstall them, then delete the folder. Restart your computer, then go to the folder that you saved the drivers in and install them. This may take some time, so please be patient. Once it's done, restart your computer and let us know how you made out! Hope this helps and good luck! -------------------- War produces veterans, wounded both physically and mentally.

I had all the pictures lined up for this as kind of a step by step presentation, but after saving them, I had to resize them then I had to edit certain areas out so that you coudln't see everything and after awhile I walked away from my computer adn never got back, Not going to lie,
Steves way of doing it is probably better anyway, Im a nvidia user as I said so deleting my drivers isnt' nearly as difficult, |

QUOTE Steves way of doing it is probably better anyway, Im a nvidia user as I said so deleting my drivers isnt' nearly as difficult, I don't know about better, but it's per their (ATI) website, so hopefully it'll fix it. I'm an Nvidia user myslef, currently running a 6800GS. However, I ran a Radeon 9500 Pro for a long time, and it's still running in my sons computer today! That's why I know about the Radeon 9x00 series, simply trial and error! Usually more error than trial! -------------------- War produces veterans, wounded both physically and mentally.

Did you do what I had suggested in my previous post? Did it go ok, was it easy enough?
Go to Start>Run then type in dxdiag and hit enter. A pop up window will appear. Click on the "Display" tab then look at the right side under "Drivers"....what Version does it say you're running now? Also, you should see a little ATI icon in the systray (to the left of the clock). You should be able to adjust certain features and settings in there too. If I remember correctly, it'll be a red box with white letters. Clicking it (or double clicking it) should open up another window in which you can fish around in to get used to. You should also be able to tell the version of the current driver that you're using there too. Can you play CSS without crashing now? -------------------- War produces veterans, wounded both physically and mentally.

When did this crashing start occurring? Have you had the game for a long time and are just now getting that error, or did you just get the game and have never been able to play it without getting that error?
Have you checked to make sure that any and all fans inside your computer case is working, and that your case is free of dust and debris? You can use a can of air to clean it out. A fan that won't spin due to failure or to much dust on it will cause a computer to over heat and crash. -------------------- War produces veterans, wounded both physically and mentally.

Although this is a REALLY bad idea, have you tried contacting steam?
I know this is a bad idea because it took them 2 weeks to get back to me about my hijacked account, Now Im just waiting on some confirmation but it takes them a whiel to get back probably due to hte amount of users they have to please etc..but still, its an idea, And post an image about hte error ASAP and lets see waht we can do |
