• "Now I'm writing FROM home, I've just finished all the tests. The reason of the bug is inside the driver, I've just installed the old ATI driver called 7.66 and all the problems disappears after many hours of intense use. Please chek the new unified driver for ATI products, they doesn't work, their name is 6.13.10.6118 (the latest). The problem occours on windows 2000 and XP. VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!! ATI after many years have unified his drivers, (like nvidia with his detonator driver) these means that probably all new drivers for ATI cards will not works with PT Editor."

• "I have not been able to get the program to garble my screen again since I downloaded new NVidia drivers FROM Microsoft Windows Update. The only thing I can consistently get is a small garble in the Guitar Setup window and a crash in the Chord Selection Window."

• "Just to let you know , it looks like the problem I had was to do with using the new uncertified nvidia drivers for my card. Everything else on my P.C. worked fine with the new drivers but not Powertab, I have replaced them with the last official issue FROM nvidia and everything seems O.K."
