Has anybody had this issue: install 12.1 and no desktop icons or task bar. Right click on the desktop brings up stuff, but I can't get the task bar to appear or the desktop icons. This is after a clean install. The last thing I do is install the 12.1 drivers. Everything is fine prior to that...

My video recently started acting up when entering games like Batman Arkham Asylum. When the game starts the colors are all wacked. Going to the desktop and returning to the game would fix things. This was happening for a few weeks, then suddenly the system stopped booting. Actually, it wouldn't...

I haven't had this problem in some time. I installed the 9.04 drivers (did a complete uninstall and sweep first). Now I can't run Crossfire, it says my second card is incompatible. Any suggestions? EDIT: Here's the error message as it appears (and it is in 2 colors): Incompatible display...

If you look at my signature you'll see my current setup (the top system is the one I am talking about here). Now that I have my 2 HD4850's working in CrossFire on my 2 year old P5W DH Deluxe motherboard, I'm wondering, should I consider upgrading to something like the ASUS P5Q-E? It's PCIe 2.0...

I just started trying to run some of my games (I installed 2 4850's recently and haven't had the time till now) and can't run DX9 or DX10 games well at all. First let me state that my 3870X2 ran these games pretty well, though the DX10 wasn't as good as I'd like so I sold the 3870X2 and got...

Anybody have any idea why I get the following regarding Overdrive? Everything is grayed out? I also can't select my second 4850. I am running with the 8.7 drivers, but I got the same with with prior versions.

In this thread I asked about Blu-Ray moives, and at the end I said I decided to get a 3870 X2 card. I have the card and a friend wants to buy it. Would it make sense to sell it to him and get a 9800GTX? The 9800GTX appears to beat this card in just about every test, and at times beat it badly...

I have an AIW X1900, and I'm considering getting the Pioneer BDC-2202B Blu-Ray player / DVD burner combo drive. I have a Gateway 24" HDCP monitor, and Intel C2D 6600, and 4GB RAM. I run Vista Ultimate in 32 bit and 64 bit configurations, as well as XP Media Center 2005 (I'm a developer with an...

OK, I'm considering getting a new tuner (currently have 550 Pro and AIW X1900). I want to do the following with it: connect a new digital cable box with coax out to the tuner. Here's the twist, the digital cable box is an HD box and outputs HD via coax. Will any of the Ati cards allow me to...

Well, I've been running Vista since betas and now have the retail Ultimate. I also have XP Pro and XP MCE 2005. I'm not nuts about the way my box is working in Vista Ultimate so I am considering wiping the drives and starting over, using Vista via dual-boot for work only. What I'm wondering is...

Anybody know when Remote wonder drivers for Vista will be released?

The title pretty much says it. I have a TV Wonder Elite (550 Pro chipset). Is it worth the money to upgrade to a TV Wonder 650 Pro board? I like the idea of getting OTA HD channels. I live on a hill and should be able to do well with that, providing I can get a decent antenna. I do plan on...

I am trying to use my TV Wonder Elite in Windows Vista Ultimate (RC2, waiting for actual release to show up this week). I installed the Theater Pro 550 drivers and the install says it went fine. Rebooted, ran the Media Center setup and then tried to watch TV. Media Center says I either don't...

Well, the title says it all. I can't get the AVIVO drivers to install on my Sapphire X1600Pro 512MB AGP card. I got the C++ part to install (did it separately) but the Parental Control Encoder just hangs. It's been over 5 minutes and it still says "Please wait....". I have never been able to...

I installed the 6.3 Catalyst drivers and all is well. But I can't install the 6.3 Encoder. I just hangs and nothing happens. I have to reboot to get my system to run smooth again. Has anybody else had this problem?
