More info?)
I have used a K7-VTA Pro with a couple of versions of the All-In-Wonder,
both cards worked fine AFTER I downloaded and installed the latest drivers
from ATI. In once case the drivers on the CD were clearly defective.
As I recall, the DVD driver for one of the cards had a "live update" feature
that was able to download the latest ATI software. Or, use the latest
Windows Media Player for DVD playback and forget the ATI utility.
This is much more likely to be an ATI hardware or driver problem than a Soyo
problem.
