    When I try to watch recorded tv using Windows MC using the ATI FireGl5700 my W500 freezes, especially when I try to switch from the window to full screen. However, when I watch recorded tv using the integrated graphics it works flawlessly. I've tried reinstalling the graphics driver, but it doesn't seem to help. Does anybody have any suggestions to fix this problem?

    The W510 is still pretty new. Perhaps no one has. It sounds like there's been driver problems. Perhaps if there's a different one you might want to try it. If it works with the integrated, why not use that?
