VV3.0 locks ATI All In Wonder Radeon - Need help please

Greetings,

I just got VV3.0 after using Premiere for many years.. love the interface on VV but it is absolutly not getting along with my ATI All In Wonder Radeon card. Here are details...

Win98SE
ATI All In Wonder Radeon
512 Megs RAM
PIII 700
ATA 100 drives
Creative SB Live
Yamaha SW1000XG (audio/midi)
Yamaha DSP Factory (audio)

It works like this.. if I have the acceleration on the ATI AIWR turned down to the second level (which by the way turns off the TV tuner capabilities) VV3.0 works fine. If I have the ATI AIWR acceleration turned up to either the highest or next to highest setting, when I run VV for just a few minutes and do anything (preview, use trimmer, etc. the screen goes black and the system locks.

Couple of other points... there are no IRQ conflicts and in fact the AIWR has an exclusive IRQ to itself. Also, I own a copy of Vegas Audio 2.0 and it does (basically) the same thing (though I'm obviously not editing video in that app.

Any or insight would be appreciated.

I also have the ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon DDR AGP version and it works with Vegas and all my other applications without problems.

Have you upgraded your video card drivers recently?

I'm running XP Pro and so far I'm just using the 5.1.2001.0 driver released on 6/6 I have NOT installed the upgrade package for the multi media center.

Thanks for the feedback (maybe there's hope)..

My All in Wonder is a PCI card (not AGP)... wonder if that could be part of the problem? Also, for anyone else reading this thread who may be able to help, I have a ABIT BE6 ver. 2 Motherboard.

Thanks again,

Hard to say. Video drives are one of the biggest causes of BSOD's. Oops... that's those infamous Windows blue screen of death lock ups. Forgot what forum I was in, so better not use those silly acronyms without explaining what they mean. :-)

Some ATI cards have know issues. Maybe a quick search on Google may help if others had some similar problems.
A problem may not have shown up before depending on what DLL's were previously installed.

Thanks for the feedback again... I (think) I'm close to having the problem solved. I dropped back a version on the driver (ATI keeps one generation back posted on their web site)and Vegas now plays VERY nicely with the AIWR... The only problem I am having now is a slight crackling noise in the audio when I capture.... I'm sure I'll get this figured out...

Thanks again,

You could try turning off Preview Audio and hear the audio out of the system mixer, assuming you don't have that input muted. This also, prevents an echo in the sound.
