Since I upgraded the video driver from the stock one to this version for HD4250 on my ASUS M4A88TD-M EVO, all video related functions in Metro applications have stopped working. For example, Microsoft’s Camera and Video refuse to start playing. Also some applications cannot get access to the microphone. No issue with desktop applications so far.

I have this problem too on HD4890 desktop and Mobility HD4570 in notebook. Same problem exist when I installed 12.6 windows 7 drivers in windows 8. So this legacy drivers are nothing more like not good suited windows 7 drivers  to windows 8. Please AMD fix it.

I have the same problem too. Trying to figure out this for days. This problem causes Netflix Windows 8 app not to work too.

If this driver is installed Video app just keeps loading...loading...loading. Netflix App gets stuck to 97%

If using the original driver that comes with Windows 8, Video app and Netflix App both work perfectly. But when using original driver there is no gaming support.

AMD please could you give us a fix for this?

Thank you!

Might I suggest that you three read the link below and do the needful:

**STICKY** | AMD ISSUE REPORTING FORM
Reproducible issues can be reported here.

As this is a P2P forum (i.e. a user forum) you will not receive direct support for your issue and the users here, like you, are unable to write code that will fix the driver package in question. The only way AMD will know there is an issue is if you go to the link provided in the thread above and report it.

Thanks in advance!
