RE: OT ATI AIW Radeon

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxx>]

I have now downloaded the Video upgrade, no joy so far but I will re-boot
to
see what happens.

In control Panel there is a ATI utility which I just ran to see what it
does
and it checks my system, it raised 2 problems, 1 DVD failed, I do not have
a
DVD drive!, and 2 CPU speed, I have dual 200MHz Pent Pro CPU's, it says
300MHz or grater, should still work though?

B.

Just noticed my last email has not come through yet!

Des, I have downloaded and installed DirectX v8.1 made no difference.

As for DX8 video upgrade, afraid I do not know what that is? so I guess
that
is a no?

I'll have a look, just downloading a 10MB file from ATI to see if that will
work.

I also ran the Windows Update utility and all is well from there.
