Hey guys,

I've had this problem for a while, not really thought much about it until now when it's really started bugging me.

Certain games, FEAR, Dawn of War being the two that came straight into my head, when i alt tab during the middle of the games, if i try and scroll through windows it takes ages. You know when you first install Windows, and you have no graphics drivers, and scrolling through windows or using the mouse wheel takes ages as it slowly goes through the page. Well its doing that when I alt tab in games. It never did this with my old card (6800GT) and I cant remember if its always done it with this card.

I'm running the 6.8 cats no CCC, with ATI Tool, that has a 2D and 3D Profile.

Anyone know what it could be? Performance in games is fine and usually I wouldnt complain, but its quite annoying

Also, another problem that could be linked, occasionally with games, when i exit them, when the 2D profile kicks in, my computer locks up or restarts itself, its mainly Battlefield 2 that does it, infact i thought it was just battlefield 2 until Dawn of War just did it. Is this a known problem with ATI Tool?



Many thanks
