Hey, What's up? I wrote this last week, Tuesday I think and it just  
showed on the list now. Anyway, I still have the problem. Not earth  
shattering but not good either. Someone said to put the original card  
back in and DVD player might work. I don't really want to do that. Do  
you suppose ATI will put out an update so those of us with the Radeon  
8500 can go back to watching DVDs on our computers? OK, going OT: I  
don't want my picture to show up on my emails anymore from my .mac  
address. I have tried everything I know but it still shows, anyone  
know how to stop it? Sorry for the topic hijack.

Greg
