Hi,
A friend could not use VTK on his laptop, Windows XP quickly crashed. After few research, we found that the ATI driver was guilty. As far as I know, there is still no update.
Don'y buy ATI!

I suspect that was a typo for Radeon, which ATI do make in a bewildering variety of forms, see .

That still doesn't excuse the typo, which would devalue any serious attempt to influence the company. personally, I'd be happy enough if they would fix the windows XP drivers for their laptop cards. In my case I have a Toshiba; ATI says Toshiba do the drivers, Toshiba hasn't released a new one in ages, the current one is broken for several mainstream apps (and vtk), although not terminally. I have to say nVidia does a much better job at this part of the customer satisfaction equation.
