ATI Catalyst 7.2 = buggy release

Do not load Catalyst 7.2 - stay with Catalyst 7.1.

I think 7.2 has got to be the buggiest version released in years. My machine had issues as well as a couple friends. We all downgraded to 7.1.

The main difference is that CLI.EXE has been replaced with CCC.EXE - a Vista compatible control panel. Seems they screwed up on the XP compatibility part however.

I've personally had crashes of the CCC.EXE app over and over and over. Reloading 7.1 solved the issue. I'll wait for 7.3 thank you where the bugs are ironed out.

-S

PS. A friend of mine reported the control panel app as using 400 MB of memory on his system. Maybe this thing has a major memory leak?
