    I haven't tried them with Windows 8 yet but I haven't gotten that watermark in Windows 7. Have you activated you Windows 8 because I know that causes the watermark?

    I just read up on a different forum that it displays that specifically in Windows 8 because Windows 8 enforces driver signing an that is its way of telling you it has an unsigned driver.

    Now really to be honest with you, these drivers should have not been an issue considering that Windows 8 has been at RTM status months ago, let alone all the previews editions that were released to the public and this issue was not found or corrected by either AMD or Microsoft. Its pretty sad when you have hackers patching and fixing things that big box companies should have gotten months ago. But anyway thanks for the start8 orb tip, I've known about it for awhile now. I'm over the new start menu and I'm pretty good with both :) I'm just really glad that driver worked for you. Now its the waiting game to see if the legit driver comes anytime soon.

    Good for you kaos420! You sorted it out! :) Thanks to anarchist9027 as well :)

    Too bad my solution dint help. It's most definitely a driver issue... AMD is always late in the game :druff:

    Yea, like I mentioned a couple of posts back, its pathetic AMD has this issue with their hardware the day if not before Windows 8 gets released to the public.

    Thats what I'm saying. I'd probably have an easier time making my laptop into a hackintosh than getting that driver.
