3D GRAPHICS SOFTWARE

To find out why these issues are occurring, we'll have to go to the source of it. A driver is a program specifically designed to allow your windows o/s to communicate with your systems hardware component. Your systems components such as sound card, keyboard, hard drive, video card all require drivers for your operating system to be able to communicate with them.

If one of your drivers becomes corrupted or outdated, the end result in most cases is the inability of the component to properly communicate with your operating system. If the component is unable to communicate with your operating system then an array of problems can occur. That is the primary reason why many of the problems mentioned above arise.

It's a well known fact that ATIs drivers always have compatibility issues with operating systems. Because of this reality, ATI are constantly releasing updated drivers to fix theses many bugs. However, to put yourself in good stead, its best you have the latest drivers on your system and update them on a consistent basis.

One thing you should know is that the majority of ATIs drivers are designed for different operating systems. That translates into your ATI graphics card having different driver versions for the different operating systems. If you're unfortunate enough to install ATI drivers meant for Windows XP on a Windows Vista machine then you'll most likely experience system crashing, freezing and blue screen errors. It's important that you have the appropriate driver for your o/s.
