It reported that the ATI driver had a problem. So, I get directed to ATIs website where i got the 10.2 drivers. I install them...then ran WEI and it crashes the PC. I think I regret getting an ATI board. On 2/17/2010 3:02 PM, Stan Zaske wrote: > I believe you will have to upgrade to a 5000 series card to see the > benefits.
