Is it flash video? Flash seems to eat processor cycles under osx for some reason, so it could be that things are just getting too hot and causing it to freak out. Is there anything else you can do to work the processor (video encoding, or even a batch of using iTunes to convert things

Hey Jeffery, Did you try their website? This is what I do when all else fails and if they don't have the driver listed I find their phone # and call them. They may charge you for it too? Did you ask the person or place you bought it? If it was new it should have came with it... Hopefully someone

I don't know if you lose QE by installing a pci video card, but I suspect not. However there is a software patch (non-apple) that is supposed to enable QE in PCI but it has warnings and when I tried it I didn't see any improvement. Why not just get an APG video card that will support two
