Newest ATI drivers fail

I recently installed the newest ati drivers... Horrible idea, it screwed up all my mouse pointers, not only in this game but in others as well. Major flicker issues, as well as actually slowing down gameplay unless I ran with hardware cursor. Had to roll back driver, anyone know if this is just some oddball issue with me or if it has hit others?

ATI Catalyst 10.8 64bit drivers, Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit edition. Elemental 1.07.025.

I don't see this behaviour. In fact, after updating the drivers (and still with Elemental 1.07) got no OOM, but I didn't play for very long.

We've seen cursor issues ourselves and have contacted ATI about them. 10.7 seems ok, the issue is only with 10.8.

Has ati made any kind of response? I have noticed that rolling back from 10.8 has fixed a couple other issues I had unrelated to Elemental as well...

I had 10.8 installed when I first played the game with 1.06 and the mouse pointers were fine.  When Impulse updated me to 1.07, the mouse cursors were using the wrong states and getting confused.  (i.e. an attack icon when moving a unit, bow with the red circle and slash through it when I could actually attack, mix n' match, really.)  Switching over to windowed mode fixes all of that.  I had only ever played 1.06 in fullscreen mode.  That's not so bad really, as the ONLY thing different about windowed mode is edge scroll doesn't work.
