I'm unfamiliar with the ATI 8700, I would try the Windows 7 WHQL drivers and see if that fixes your problem. Or try running Crysis in compatibility mode.

Morning fakeasdf
any body told you, you're a genius? installed the drives as per your suggestion worked perfectly:D
Many Thanks.
Win 7 seems to be pretty good so far runs well and quicker than Vista.
we just need a few more antivirus comps to produce a win 7 compatible version thats not cpu hungry.
any body heard what the release price will be?

win 7 games

  1. Click the Start button, click Control Panel, click Programs, and then under Programs and Features, click Turn Windows features on or off.
  2. Select the Games check box, and then click OK.
When I first installed win 7 I didn't have any games in my folder. I followed the steps above and now I have games. You have to click the box next to games to see all the games, then put a check by the ones you want to open.

Hope this helps.
