Must these ATI programs load at startup? Help needed please!
I upgraded from Catalyst 3.4 to 3.5 and ATI Poll and ATI Smart now
load at Win 98se startup. Do I really need these to load for a good reason? Thank you. -- Asus A7N8X deluxe rev. 2.0 AMD XP 3200+, 400fsb Corsair 512 meg x 2, XMS PC 3500 Radeon 9800 Pro, 256 DDR |

But you can disable Smartgart too if you want to. After all, it is a complete waste of time after the initial driver install. Chip |

It provides the ability to test your particular configuration for compatibility issues and stability issues. The location is also in the ATI display properties control panel." The site author's recommendation is to disable the service, although it only runs at bootup and then unloads itself anyway. -- Ian Merrithew - ADM Systems Engineering ian.merrithew "at" ieee.org |
