I usally keep my video drivers updated but I missed the first 5.x drivers.
I just updated to 5.2 and now wolfenstein crashes on a regular basis and
some games randomly won't even start. Anyone else having this issue?
 
Oh just in case anyone is curious, I'm running WinXP SP2 with all the latest
patches, Wolfenstein is 1.41, my video card is the ATI 9600. I played
Wolfenstein all the way through about 2 months ago - it didn't crash once.
I haven't moved any hardware or updated any other drivers since then except
this latest ATI driver.

I've turned on and off VPU recover, I set the AGP for 4x. I haven't touched
the fast writes yet although I never had to modify them in the past.
 
the 5.2's with SP1a completely locked me up after 5-10 mins of MOHHA
Spearhead...hard reset was the only way out.And I have the 9600XT. I realize
they recommend SP2 but am happy with my performance now.

I'm sticking with the 4.12's.My 9600XT system is stable and there is nothing
that the 5.xx's give me that I don't already have.

it is just too bad that ATI has fallen to the MS theory of ugrading..if it
keeps up soon we will have no choice in hardware or software.
