[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 385240, member: 56239"] Observations: P-4 @ 1.8 may be taxed for HD... my slowest system was an AMD 2500 and the ATi AIW 9600xt. I was using an OLD Catalyst 5.3 version. The FIRST thing I'd do is search for which Catalyst had been working for most on here... something like 8.6 or so as I recall but certainly NOT anything later than 8.12 or so -- again, [I]as I recall [/I]and once you find the correct version, [U]please correct this post[/U]. I think the "unable to start" is associated with the ATi WDM they load in their driver... I can't say I ever got the HDTV-Wonder's analog working under MP.
