Hi,
I'm having the same problem as many others out there... When i play any game on my computer it freezes for a couple of seconds and then continues.. when i exit the game i get the message " atikmdag has stopped responding and successfully recovered" I have the Catalyst Install Manager on my computer but as far as I know I don't have the Control Panel.. Sometimes it freezes and I can continue playing the game but the game and the rest of my computer looses all color until I restart it. If I log off and log on to another file on my computer all colour returns but when I go back to my file there is still no colour. When it goes gray everything has weird patterns some vibrant and others not and all words become black squares..My computer crashed 2 months ago and i got it serviced. They said I had a defected mainboard? they replaced it but when I got my computer back I noticed they had also changed the graphics card without telling me? they changed it from a Nvidia 7 series ( I don't remember It very well) to a ATI Radeon HD 3400 series. 2 weeks after this problem started. At first I thought it was my drivers so I made sure all my drivers were up to date.. Now I'm don't know what it is because windows tells me its the driver even though the driver is already updated. Someone Please! help! It would be greatly appreciated.
Here are my computer specs
Windows Vista Home Premium 32Bit.
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz
3.00GB of RAM
ATI Radeon HD 3400 Series
Thanks again to all that help!

And to add on- If I change my theme from windows vista to windows clasic while everything is gray there is colour again
