ATI TV instability
Back in March, I upgraded from Cat4.1/MMC8.8 to Cat4.3/MMC8.9 (after using
the ATI uninstall utility). Thereafter, when I ran the TV (All-in-Wonder 9800Pro), my computer would crash every half hour or so (WinXP SP1, all updates installed; p4 2.8GHz HT; 1GB DDR-SDRAM, Intel D865GBX built-in audio). Uninstalling and reinstalling the ATI software did not help. So I reverted to 4.1/8.8, and the computer returned to its previous rock-solid stability. Yesterday, I installed XP SP2. Everything was running fine, so I decided today to try the latest ATI software (Cat4.7/MMC9.1). The instability while using the TV immediately returned. I reverted to 4.1/8.8 again, and everything is fine once more (even with AGP Fast Write enabled). Has anyone else had this problem with the post-Cat4.1 software? Any idea what causes the problem? |

Oddly enough everything that's an upgrade has seemed to fall apart. catalyst 4.7, XP pro sp2 and fwiw: at the ATI site I think you'll find that the 1 gig memory [and other items ie: Large HD [mine is 125 gig] and a few other items are sources of problems with the new AIW drivers and stuff. I figure it'll be another 6 months to a year b4 anyone has fixes that work with my setup. Back in March, I upgraded from Cat4.1/MMC8.8 to Cat4.3/MMC8.9 (after using the ATI uninstall utility).
