ATI Mobility Radeon crashes after Standby

[Adi R]

I saw a similar post and tried thing proposed, but nothing seems to be
able to resolve this long onoing problem I am having...

On my HP Pavilion ATI Mobility Radeon 7500C, after going into Standby,
the display returns and everything seems normal at first.

However, if I try anything that uses DirectDraw (not sure, but media
player and other similar things are affected), the screen stops and
switches to low res mode, saying that Windows has recovered from a
Device failure.

I wanted to update my driver, by ATI says that I need to get it from
HP, and HP doesn't have any new drivers (surprise surprise...)

I am running WinXP Home, latest DirectX, 32MB card memory. Tried both
32 bit and 16 bit color, no difference...

Any thoughts?

Just ignore what Ati says. Download them cats 4.2, and mod them yourself, if
you know how to. Or use a tool called "mobility modder" from
driverheaven.com . That SHOULD solve most problems.

If you're lucky, (that m7500 is NOT too much messed up by HP) than the
drivers should work very nice.

I understand the Omega drivers, from http://www.omegacorner.com/, are
modified versions of the ATI drivers that AFAIK run on mobility Radeons.
But RTFM!
