ATI Radeon 4870 X2 w/ Vista 64 bit

Has anyone had or are haveing a problem using an ATI Radeon 4870 X2 graphics card w/ Vista 64 bit and Archicad 12? I was using the 10/2008 graphics driver and had problems. I just installed the 12/2008 driver, and Catalyst Control Center doesn't open. I don't know yet if the new driver fixed the problem with Archicad 12.
Also, I can't print to my HP DesignJet 500 wide format printer. I let Vista upgrade and install the new firmware at the same time of my new computer build/Vista OS, So I don't know which caused the printing problem.
