Hi
I'm running a Time Traveller notebook, with WinXP, an Athlon 2600+, 512mb RAM and an ATI Radeon IGP 320.
I recently installed the ATI Catalyst 5.9 drivers, but now whenever my system tries to play MPEGs, AVIs or WMVs, I get a system hang. The sound plays fine, but there's no video. The system then needs a hard reset. Any ideas?

I'm guessing this is a pretty serious conflict or BIOS problem, but any help would be great.

Thanks

Most of the time the reason for those "hangs" is a bad video file or missing codecs. Download this codec pack and see if it helps.

hi mjcarroll,

try updating your video codecs and see if that solves your problem. it could also be a driver issue, try uninstalling your videocard drivers and install the ones you had before. oh yeah, check out www.majorgeeks.com and download "driver cleaner" and follow the instructions how to uninstall the videocard drivers and install the other ones.
