Anyone successfully running Adobe Premiere Pro, Audition or Soundbooth on the T60p with the ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5250?

I have a T60p with ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5250, 2 GB RAM and Win XP Pro SP3. Premiere Pro, Audition and Soundbooth causes win32k.sys BSOD (0x0000008E). These programs function for a short period of time and then begin to display video glitches. Either menus not fully drawing and being overlayed with bits of underlying screen and/or shaking of various panels. Then, BSOD with win32k.sys.

When I uninstall the ATI drivers, the system is useable but upon system start, Win XP wants to go through the find new hardware ritual of which I cancel. Additionally, the screen refresh on all programs are slow, i.e. when scrolling the screen pages slowly.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Have you tried different ATI drivers, either newer or older ones, or the Omega drivers?

I rolled back to a previous ATI driver and that didn't work. The results were the same.

I tried installing the Omega drivers (ati_omega_xp2k_48442.exe) but they didn't take. Windows XP didn't see the driver. Upon reboot, it was asking me to go through the "Found new hardware" ritual.

Thanks for the input.
