I am on a MacBook Pro w/ an ATI Radeon Mobility x1600 running Windows 7 64bit 7100 build. I'm having the video flicker problem mentioned by some in this thread. I've read through this thread and don't understand what I should be doing to fix the problem. Thanks in advance!

EDIT/UPDATE: If I need a driver update, it seems impossible. The Radeon Mobility x1600 doesn't seem to have any new drivers. Am I screwed?

For these issues, it's best to start your own thread, with your CoHHelper and HijackThis each in their own posts in the thread to that it doesn't cut anything off. It's easier for the techies to look things over and make suggestions that way, and it keeps your issue separate from everyone else's so that it can be dealt with individually. I have no suggestions myself though, my hardware setup is totally different, and I haven't had any problems with City and Win 7 myself.
