AIW 9800 pro + winXP SP2 + catalyst 5.5 issues
Just installed Winxp SP2(fresh install) and catalyst 5.5 and my TV is horrible. specifically while scrolling in IE 6, the TV will skip and stutter.
While running XP pro no service packs and an older driver it worked great, I could even play games and other system intensive programs and it would never skip.
anyone else run in to this? It's driving me crazy, I've tried switching back to older drivers, older MMC, everything I can think of short of going back to XP with no service packs.

5. Installed MMC 9.08 files.
No more hangs, blank screens, audio loss, sync issues, waiting for ATI support to tell me to reinstall etc....

tried this...all that managed to do was make me lose all audio.

good question, at first I thought I had updated the wrong driver. But I triple checked and made sure I updated the rage theater video driver and not the audio driver. I have no idea why changing a video driver would affect audio, but it did.

Try going into the MMC setup and run the Initialization Wizard again.

I installed everything stock and it worked, making sure to use driver cleaner in between

Even if you format? I don't see the drivers that Windows installs would be any problem. What do you think?

It could be, esp. with SP2 cause i used a SP@ slipstreamed disk, and the AGP driver messed with my mobo's AGP driver causing hardlocks

just tried it, still no audio.
I think I'm just going to uninstall everything and go back to my old drivers. catalyst 5.5 can't be worth all this work.

Just covering the bases... is the line-out from the ati card going into your audio line-in? This wasn't required when you were using the NSP drivers.
I don't know how ATI has let this problem survive for like 3 releases already.

actually it was accidently plugged into the mic instead of line in. that's what caused me to lose audio eh? oh well, I have it working perfectly with my old drivers now, I'm just going to leave it alone until the next set is released.

catalyst 5.6 has the same problem. I tried changing the NSP driver again and this time it worked since I have the cable plugged into the right slot now.
for some reason it seems my audio quality got worse after changing that driver though....  From an old catalyst to the new 5.6 without the NSP.
