Hi
I have had this problem (not just with 4.12 though). Generally the problems
(e.g. very slow screen redraw etc.) were solved with a through un-install of
the drivers and then install new drivers - apologies if you've already tried
this. You can also try turning off VPU recover - this has worked for some
people with the same problem.

That's the normal slowness of CCC that everyone is complaning about.
Dump it and go back to the old way. Install the old control panel
instead. CCC is not ready for prime time yet.
(needs .net installed on your system as well.. )

Try rebooting Windows again... That solved it for me.

Every time you reinstall the driver the first bootup it does a test of |
the AGP capabilities of your PC. Until it is finished doing this and
setting the correct settings (e..g fastwrites on/off, 2x, 4x, 8x, etc.)
everything will be dog-slow. You must logon to an administrator id in
order for these tests to complete. You probably knew all this, but I
took a shot ... |

As you can see this action of the drivers is highly redundant. Go into
services.msc and disable ATi Hotkey Poller and ATi Smart. Just be sure to
enable it for one bootup if you have made any hardware changes.
