AMD has moved to the AMD Radeon HD 2000, AMD
Radeon HD 3000, and AMD Radeon HD 4000 Series new driver support model.
These updates will focus on resolving application specific issues and
critical updates. The reason for the shift in support policy is largely
due to the fact that the AMD Radeon HD 2000, AMD Radeon HD 3000, and AMD
Radeon HD 4000 Series have been optimized to their maximum potential
from a performance and feature perspective.
CERT recently approached AMD with information pertaining to what they believed to be a possible video driver vulnerability exposed by non-default settings of the Microsoft Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET). EMET is a security test tool that allows system administrators to create test conditions to validate correct behavior of system components or indicate potential weak points. The presence of an issue does not necessarily mean that this issue can be exploited in regular operation of a system. The default safety settings of the EMET do not cause the issue in question to occur.
The AMD Catalyst 12.6 beta driver for the AMD Radeon HD 2000, AMD Radeon HD 3000, and AMD Radeon HD 4000 Series is designed to resolve a possible video driver vulnerability issue and to minimize the occurrence of system crashes.
It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed a wrong driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
