I don't have one of those monitors, and I don't have any information about how to enable ULMB, so it won't happen until then.
Strobelight.exe seems to crash on start with the new AMD 14.9 Catalyst drivers. Windows simply states that the program stopped working as soon as I launch it.

Strobelight-setup.exe appears to be working properly though, so I can at least install my preferred refresh rates.

Everything was working fine with 14.7 RC3. I have an ASUS VG248QE and an AMD 7950.
I'm experiencing the same thing as Paycer, worked fine on the latest beta prior to 14.9 and still works just can't use Strobelight.exe

Catalyst 14.9
7970
VG248QE
Windows 7 (x64)
Came here to report the same thing.

Catalyst 14.9
7970
BenQ XL2420TE
Win 8.1 64 bit.
Saaaame thing. 14.9 breaks.

Rebooting between each step, I: Fully uninstalled old drivers, deleted old driver folders, installed new drivers, uninstalled lightboost, re-installed lightboost, still broken.

Gonna post on blur busters as soon as that damn confirmation email finally arrives.
This looks like an AMD driver bug. The crash is happening in AMD's atiadlxy.dll in a function that is needed to communicate with the monitor. I can't do anything about this in my own code.
Problems with the update from 14.7 to 14.9 ccc drivers with my 7950 card and the BenQ 2720T.
Had to deinstall everything. Now i can work on my 1st monitor again. The 2nd monitor witout lightboost hack did work with 14.9. But the first monitor only had grey with colour lines. I tried every adjustment in the driver for my first monitor, but the grey desktop stayed. I am gaming now without strobelight hack. Please give us an upgrade to beta 5. :-)
Its under win 8.1 x64.

So we will have to install the previous driver or will you try getting around it?

Can't you take this file from the 14.7 driver package and put it in the same folder as strobelight.exe? This usually would work around bugs caused by driver files (like the opengl file, etc)

I doubt toasty foretold this happening and pre-coded the fix :\
