Re: Media PC + Graphics Card

Simon,

I'm surprised to hear you are having this problem we use Sapphire
9250s both 128Mb and 256Mb and have never had this problem on VGA or
DVI. Are you using the latest MCE Catalyst drivers from the ATI site
or perhaps it is the MPEG decoder you are using, we use the Nvidia as
it causes us the least problems.
