[QUOTE="seattlemark, post: 116302, member: 1959"] Here is a way I think that someone can install older driver ([U]without[/U] total Windows reinstall), then reinstall newer driver again, then go back and forth at will: 1) remove your current driver using these AMD instructions: [url]http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/GPU57RemoveOldGraphicsDrivers.aspx[/url] 2) Install old driver. The driver that works very well for me with TPA is version 9.012/9.12, that I mention (and provide a link to my other post of how to get it) in: [url]http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/6498-PP-fix-for-AMD-gpus?p=115990&viewfull=1#post115990[/url] 3) If old driver works well for you with TPA, but you also want to use new driver for other programs, now reinstall new driver 4) When the "new" driver is active, you can go back to "old" at any time, by selecting the driver tab in Windows and click "Roll Back driver" button (According to something I saw, you can only roll back to most recent prior version that is installed on your machine.) 5) When the "old" driver is active, you can go forward to that installed "new" driver at any time, by selecting the driver tab in Windows, then click "Update Driver" button, then select upper option of "Search automatically for updated driver software". Since that "new" driver is still stored somewhere on your computer this should find it. (Although it may also find something newer yet from the internet, so to block that you may want to unplug your Internet connection, or turn off your wireless, etc.) 6) repeat steps 4 and 5 as many times as you wish. Note: As far as I am concerned, the above steps are only intended to be a workaround till AMD and/or FarSight can provide a fix. Hopefully the fix will be soon, as it is a pain to do the workaround. And if newer "new" drivers come out, if someone wants to use them along with that "old" driver, the workaround has to be done all the way back to Step 1 (since apparently you can only roll back to the most recent prior driver version that is installed on your machine). Please note that I too sometimes gets a little bit of that "shimmer/wobble" effect (when the camera moves), that iCub mentioned. And I get it even with AMD driver version 9.12/9.012. But I usually keep my camera in locked view, so that bit of shimmer is not distracting to me during the plunger time when the table is moving. (Since with 9.12/9.012 the static jaggies are minimal for me.) [/QUOTE]
