Just installed them. 3DMark2001SE now crashes on the Nature test and gives me this message: FATAL ERROR: failed to validate material.

Any bright ideas anyone? a Google yields nothing.

Did you download the full package? or the seperate ones? ATi made a slight stuff up with the seperate downloads, the Driver was multi language, and the Control Panel was English, French, German. the 2 of them don't go together too well. the link posted above for XP Driver has been edited now to point to the right file (EFG to match CP), so you could try redownloading it if thats the problem. BTW, I always reccomend the following method for updating drivers, and have never had an issue:

Uninstall Control Panel
Uninstall Driver
Reboot
Run DH Driver Cleaner (http://www.driverheaven.net/cleaner/download/DC2Setup_20.zip)
Install Catalyst Drivers
Reboot
Install Control Panel
Reboot

200 point improvement in 3d03 whatever that means :)

I'm happy with them. The only thing that annoys me is I have to redo all my presets for customised displays.
