    As I mentioned in another post I was experiencing some thin vertical color bars on the right side of my screen when playing DVDs.

    I eliminated the problem by installing the ATI Mobility driver update 5-10-mobile_xp_dd_ccc_enu_26777.exe

    I believe you will have to install the Microsoft .net 1.1 to get some of the ATI tools to function. I received an ATI error until I installed the .net framework.

    Yeah, I thought the same thing - maybe poor playback software. Then I installed Cybervision Power DVD, same issue.

    So I updated the driver just because I found it, not because I thought it would fix it. Dumb luck.

    You have to download the Microsoft .net frame work 1.1 and install first. Then the driver. Do a web search on both and you will find the required files. Takes us a good chunk of drive space which is why some do not do this. If I spend this much I want everything to work and have all the bells and whistles. I figure that by the time I run of drive space prices will have dropped enough to replace it.

    I do not pretend to know if there are any other repercussions from doing this, but you could always revert to original drivers.
