dunno but you can always use a 3rd party program like radlinker.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I don't understand what you mean by this Sleepy. The rumors I heard are,
that at some point in time, all ATI driver releases are going to be CCC
only -- there will be no Control Panel versions offered. Personally, if this
rumor is verified, I'm going Nvidia on my next purchase for three reasons:

a. I don't want to install any more Microcrap garbage on my PC (.Net)
b. I don't like CCC from what I've heard about it
c. Nvidia is an American company

Corporate users in an environment in which anybody cares whether they
install .NET framework should not be installing video drivers anyway. In
fact if the machine configuration even allows them to install drivers then
someone in IT has screwed up.

Just dont install the control panel, use another program. I agree though the
thought of CCC only is horrible, its a waste of space and such a resource
hog.

I hope this does not come to pass any time soon. I'm not looking to change
video cards until next year sometime (my whole computer, actually) and it
would suck to have CCC rammed down our collective throats if we don't really
want or need it. They'd better iron out the bugs fast. For now, I'm
sticking with the regular control panel as I always have.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

And don't forget that .NET S*** no one likes that

if they do I will not update the drivers from that time on and may
even go to a nvidea card

And no one likes it why? Beside the typical anti MS stance some like to
take.
Most that hate .net have no clue what it even is, they just hate it for
spite.

Its a runtime library.

Personally, I don't have a problem with .NET, but when it comes to ATI,
their "old" control panel is working fine and does everything I want it to
do. I'd rather stick with it at least until such a time as I'm not reading
so many negative posts about the CCC here and on various Internet forums.
Thankfully, the complaints aren't as numerous as before, but there's still
work to be done.

Some people may scoff at this, but I'd rather stick with an ATI card than go
back to nVidia again since I prefer ATI's drivers. I'm running two
machines, one with an ATI card and the other with an nVidia card, and I've
honestly had fewer driver issues with the ATI card.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Good point, and some games work better with it. MSCFS-III and MSFS2004
to name two. .NET has never
screwed my OS... On the plus side .NET (xml) are user modifyable, but
what do I know I've only been
working with computers since 1985.
Although I've never used the CCC but instead the CP, I don't believe the
transition will be all that
difficult..

But what does it bring to the party for a control panel for a video board?

Yes, a runtime library for subscription based software.

Schooner, take your head out of your ass. "Most" people
know perfectly well what .NET is all about, and that's why
they hate it. MS's vision for the future is one that prevents
end user upgradability for computer hardware, and also
phases out users from purchasing licensed software.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Huh? I think you have the .NET SDK confused with Microsoft Passport or
something.
