i had an ati also , and it caused various problems itself. might just
want to try a different card just in case. i'm running an intel 100
mhz pentium with 3ds4 with no problems.
its got to be something really simple here, it reminds me of the time
nasa was looking for an error in one of there computers and they
looked so hard that they basicly could not see the piece of paper
blocking the alarm bell in there 1950 mainframe. it was right there!
stuck in between the hammer and the bell. right in front of there
eyes, yet they were looking so hard in the componets, that they never
saw what was staring them in the face.
step back and look real close at the machine.!???.
what have you maybe overlooked.?
