slow selection issue with ATI card

Hi guys,
Nice to be back with blender. I’m loving 2.5!!

But I have been having slow selection issues with my ATI graphics card… and I know this isn’t a new thing! :slight_smile:
Specs:
Blender 2.55
Windows Vista 32 bit
ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3650
Intel Core Duo CPU
4Gb Ram

I updated my drivers from AMD site to no effect.

I’ve found a couple of methods on these forums for fixing this issue but kept hitting probs when following these methods:

From Howizter (I couldn’t find this FireGL driver on AMD)
The BEST atioglxx.dll file. Ever.

From Neo: (I think its too old plus I counldn’t decompress the atioglxx.dl_)

Does anyone have any suggestions that are closer to home for my situation? I keep getting lost.

Thanks, sorry for harping on about this same issue. :spin:

(I couldn’t find this FireGL driver on AMD)
Have to keep looking I guess…
Meanwhile I’m trying a different solution that was brought up by Marve onthis page
As he says, the folks at http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool/ provide a way to tackle the prob by downloading the latest drivers from ATI and then modifying it.

FireGL is to Radeon what Quadro is to GeForce.
Uninstall all your graphics driver stuff.
Use Driver sweeper: http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/ and clean your ATI driver.
Restart windows in save mode.
Use Driver sweeper again.
Boot normally
Install the latest driver and latest ati CCC.

If the problem persists, try to turn off any forced AA features in CC and try to disable Vista´s Aero.
