I'm running SL in W. Vista. It was ok for a couple of days, but now, seconds after login, SL crashes. AMD 64 4600, 2GB RAM, ATI x1650Pro PCIe. What is it to be done about this?

SL + Vista + Ati, expect crashing till they get their drivers in order.

Ati is the only one of those who uses drivers , Ati ~ opengl on Vista is horrible for SL

XP uses diffrent drivers then Vista uses for Ati vid card sooo...

Win xp + ati drivers + SL = work
Win vista + ati drivers + SL = Doesnt work,
reason?,
Ati's drivers are not good on vista with opengl wich is what SL uses, for any d3d games it does work.

I was still able to play SL with this configuration for a couple of days. I don't understand why. Your explanation would satisfy me if i could'n log in at all from the very beginning afer upgrading to Vista.
