Concerning the wav having an ATI icon it's just because you have installed the "ATI player" , I don't know of any side affect .
Don't bother with this.


Remember if you see a Rook Typhoon take a deep breath ,slow down ,stay level and die like a man !

What is your driver version ?

To check go to control pannel => display => parameter tab
click on advanced ,go to the card tab,click on properties, next on the Driver tab

On this page there should be the drver version

if it's 6.14.10.6458
get this http://www2.ati.com/drivers/control-panel-8-03-040610a-016126c.exe

else post the version here I'll point you the right file in the loving huge list you can find here : http://www.ati.com/support/products/radeonwinxppreviousdrivers.html

ok..so i have the control panel now..but it doesnt have all those things that you linked me to from the Teak thing page..

I guess im supposed to download the atitweak thing now...fuq i hate thsi sheite...

There are no tweaks to do.  The ATI control panel is on the same page of thier WEB site as the driver is.

You can also download a complete package, with the control panel and driver as well.

[GreenCloud]

ok..so i have all the "stock" ati driver and control panel...what do i do with the control panel to make Ah2 playable?

Do you guys at HTC have a list of things to chek on ..chek off?
