Thanks Ian - Question though - I know I have 9.4 installed and cannot find where to see the version listing
If by some chance I didnt know what version I had how could I find out
I usually find the version under help and about but with Catalyst it shows a different number

If you run "dxdiag" it should show the version number on the display tab, listed under driver - I think

Hmm, I thought it would have said which version you have under "drivers" on the page - but it shows 8.6.

I'm not sure how you could find out, but it could be in the control centre. I've not used an ATI card for a long time, so I can't check it here at my end unfortunately.

FYI - The Catalyst 9.5(32Bit) Windows 7 download appears to be identical to the Windows Vista download - I did a "file compare by content" because the files where the same size.

I dont like storing duplicates or outdated software unless ofcoarse I dont have the new version
