    Mudbox won't open, PLEASE HELP

    When I tried to open mudbox 2012 a popup came up telling me that mudbox requires a new ATI graphics driver. I went to the ATI site and filled in my graphics card information and downloaded what I believe was the correct graphics driver. However, I still get the same popup and when I ignore it to continue opening the program I get the message "Mudbox application file has stopped working". Does anyone know what I can do here? By the way, Maya 2012 works fine for me. The only problem is mudbox. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     

    P.S. I have attached a jpg image of the message that pops up when I try to open mudbox.

     

     

    Computer Information:

     

    Windows 7 64-bit

    ATI Radeon 4200 HD graphics card

    Mudbox version 2012

    mine says

     

    Mudbox application file has stopped working

     

    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

    Mudbox is a very graphics card intensive application.  Supported cards are listed here:

    If you are still having problems, you can try deleting the prefs for Mudbox if they exist.

    I checked the link that you mentioned and my graphics card said it "passed" for Mudbox but when I try to open the application on my Mac Pro it bounces in the dock and then just never opens
