video driver update is causing lockup when playing streaming m

[richard D]

I have 128 ddr Atir radeon 9700 tx/wtv out. Since I updated the driver with
Dells help I have been unable to use windows media or real player as the
computer freezes and I have to unplug and reboot. Has anyone else experienced
this and is there a solution short of reversing the upgrade. I am using a
dell dimension with with XP

Did you uninstall the previous drivers before installing the new ones? ATI
says that is required.
