The latest ATI Casts (Drivers) are a bit messed up. Both sets, including ones from today/yesterday iirc are.

See Here for the Omega Cars which providing a more stable and higher performance imo. (Not much iff in Benchmark scores but still greater with the Omegas.)

Well no gfx or firewall issues for me, only that on certain ETPro Servers I get kicked by PB after 1 min.

As soon a s I connect I get a continuos string of “O/S Excemption” in my console.

Only happens since I went SP2.

I know it is microsoft but i mean… If it wasnt for MS we would still be playing pong (the black and white bat game) on a “dos” is O/S on a BBC… MS Rules imo

MS stuff only crashes with stuff made by non MS and they make cheaper/quicker/crap stuff…

i uninstakled sp2 for various reasons but in a nutshell it wasnt worth the trouble if i get a virus im able to get rid of it my self as i have done in the past + the fact that ive got norton…so zeroice m8 maybe its worth uninstalling?
+it semmed like sp2 had a problem with everything i did watching video clips using wmplayer playing ET…u name it sp2 had a problem with it but even after uninstalling i still get unknown discconections from pb for 0 packet flow…0 minuites…etc y i really dont know maybe someone could help me 2?

You could try lowering your AGP setting to x4 (in BIOS setup) … worked for a mate with the same problem.
