Hi!
I am runing BOINC and have instaled the latest drivers, Catalyst Software Suite (64 bit),
but I having the folowing problem as I always had.

When I have done a fresh instalation of the Catalyst driver and reboot the first time as prompted
my BOINC graphics shows up and works just as expected but when I have turn off my computer
and restart later my BOINC graphics is just displaying a black screen.

The really strang thing is that the BOINC graphics always works the first time I have rebooted
at the end of the instalation but never after that.

Is there anyting I can do to make the BOINC graphics to work, execpt to delete and reinstal
the Catalyst driver everytime I start my computer?

This is my system:

CPU type GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU
Q6600 @ 2.40GHz [Intel64 Family 6 Model 15
Stepping 11]

Operating System Microsoft Windows Vista

Service Pack 1, (06.00.6001.00)
Memory 4094.18 MB
Grapic card ASUS EAH3650 SILENT MAGIC / HTDP / 512

Shared. The question is why it works after the first reboot at the end of the
instalation of the Catalyst driver but does not work after I have turned off
and start the computer after the completed instalation.

Just to carify, the screensaver works fine all the time but if I press
the 'show graphics' buton in the BOINC manager I am only able to see
graphics after the first reboot at the end of the Catalyst driver installation
but not when I have restarted my computer afer that.
