I assume from that you've never encountered an ATI XPert@Work card then. I
know this replaces the VMM system because I have software which monitors
versions of files before and after every installation. I cannot offer
explanation as to why ATI do this, but several of their installation
programs do, and this has caused a few KERNEL32.DLL errors, the solution
simply to restore the file from the WIndows CD. It would not surprise me to
find other cards do this as well.
