I think you are confused: there was never a 2.8 release. Allegro
versions went 2.1, 2.11, 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, 3.11, and the current
development releases are numbered 3.9.x, where x has been growing
upwards from 1 and has now reached 18.

Rather than just going back to an old library version, why not try to 
debug this problem and find out what is going wrong? Perhaps the new
Allegro drivers don't like your machine, in which case you may need
to edit your config files: use the Allegro test programs to check
whether the library itself is working ok. Or perhaps it is a bug in
your program that just didn't happen to show up before, in which case 
it would be better to fix it, because if you ignore them, such problems 
have a habit of cropping up again later on in a project and causing
lots of trouble. Or perhaps it is a bug in the newer library code, in
which case it would be useful for you to debug it so that we can get
this fixed.

Can you give some more info about what Allegro version you are now
using, what version you had before, and exactly what your program
does?
