Hey all -- I upgraded to a new system with 64 bit Vista. My problem: I can install RW software without a problem, and can import plugins which also work fine. When I reboot my system, however, the RW software forgets my plugins and I have to re-import them again for things to work. Any ideas...

Anyone know if the polarcloud plugin for the Remote Wonder that works for windvd 5 and 6 also works for 7? Thanks! Zipr

Can you set a hotkey in the CCC to turn on and off a secondary display, in this case a TV? In the old control panel, I could set one hotkey to turn the TV output on, one to turn it off. Then I'd assign the same to a couple of buttons on my remote wonder, and then I could easily turn the tv...

I've found a strange quirk that I'm trying to figure out. Sometimes WinDVD 'remembers' where in a DVD I was, and sometimes it doesn't. I figured out that the difference lies in how I stop it. If I hit the stop button on my RW and then exit it, it DOESN'T remember where I left off. If I exit...

Anyone know if one exists? I want to upgrade for the better sound and progressive scan, but won't unless I can use my remote... Thanks! Zipr

I'm thinking about upgrading my sound system and want to get a stereo receiver with digital in. I know that I can hook up my soundblaster to it digitally, but my DVD-ROM doesn't have digital out. Will I be able to listen to DVDs in digital sound with this setup? Also, I have the soundblast...

After finding out that my 7500 only supports DX7 features, I was wondering what I may be missing in today's games because I can't take advantage of dx8 and dx9 features. Am I missing any eye candy in Freedom Force, Freelancer, the latest Unreal Tournament, Quake 3?

Does anyone know why whenever I turn on my TV-out on my Radeon 7500, it changes my default monitor to a 60mhz refresh rate? Any way to stop it? I'm using the latest MMC and Hydravision, and dx9. I'm using cat 2.5 drivers because the 3.x ones I've tried have given me more problems with...

If anyone has been able to download and successfully install the 1.4 drivers on their win 2k system, please post. I think that there's a problem with the installer, but want to make sure that it's not something strange with the 2 systems I tried to install it on.... Thanks!

Hey all-- I've got a 7500 that came with ATI's DVD playing software v5.0. I want to upgrade to 7.6, but it asks for a part # that starts with 180- that's supposed to be on my CD. It isn't. And it isn't on the paper sleeve either. Any ideas on what I can do? ATI's website doesn't say...

I've seen a few different Bios files from my Radeon 7500 floating around the net and was wondering 1) If there's any point to updating mine. 2) How to tell if a bios is older or newer than what I already have. 3) Why I can't find bios files on ATI's site... Any input would be appreciated!

Since I upgraded to dx9 and Catalyst 3.1 on my w2k/Radeon 7500 system, I've had problems with Battlezone which I didn't have before with dx8 & catalyst 2.x drivers. Basically, some of the text on the screen shows up funky and flickers in and out. Also, the map is blank with units occasionally...
