ATI graphics card - beg/borrow/steal a non-ATI card, try again and report back.

There is a known problem with ATI cards and Protel.  Many (not all it 
seems) report that Protel locks up often with ATI cards.

I would suggest that it would be well worthwhile trying another card from a 
different maker and see how you go.

I use nVidia based cards without any trouble and I think Matrox are well 
reputed with the quality of their drivers and support.
