Yes, the files are renamed as mentioned in the readme. So you have to copy and rename them to amd.... Do you have Vista64? Do your files have "64" suffix or not?
2) Message boards : Number crunching : ATI GPU app 0.19f fixes the ps_sgr_208_3s errors (Message 27329) Posted 8 Jul 2009 by CADENCE Post: Your suspicions are probably correct. It sounds like you installed the wrong version of Catalyst. Since you have a 64 bit OS, make sure that you're using Catalyst 9.5 Vista 64 bit version. I downloaded correct package from AMD website. I don't think one can install wrong drivers. 32-bit drivers cannot work in 64-bit OS. And my graphic card works correctly, so they have to be correct drivers. I was just thinking that maybe in 9.6 AMD changed names of those dll's again. That's why I would like to hear some confirmation from someone who installed catalyst 9.6 under Vista64.

It just uses CPUs. I noticed that even though I have Vista64, the aticalc*.dll files don't have "64" suffix. Do you see the same in your system? Maybe that's the problem. At first it was crashing constantly. Then I changed the .dll file names as described, rebooted the system. Now it doesn't crash, but only uses CPU and not GPU. Any clues? [/quote] Oh, actually, it still keeps crashing. Even after changing .dll names.

Calulates very fast but very soon diplay driver stops responding and screen freezes for some minutes and then BOINC resumes computing with CPU only. OS is Vista X64 and driver is Cat 9.6. Cards are 2x HD4890. I have exactly the same configuration (only one card) and cannot get it working. It just uses CPUs.
