Hardware: ATI A-I-W 8500dv; ATI Remote, AMD 2400+ CPU w/ 512MB DDR RAM

Whereas media library worked OK in the past, I am unable to get Media
Library to load, search and display files (don't ask what i have
installed/uninstalled--I can't begin to tell you). I get the above
error message.

Yes I am familiar with the missing .DLL atioops.dll in v. MMC7.x, but
this is using version MMC8.9 and all current drivers, etc... I even
looked in the folder and atioops.dll is present and is the correct
version--v8.901.

I have reinstalled WinXP several times.

I also ran the commend "regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\ATI
Multimedia\MLibrary\Atioops.dll" from the RUN line...and STILL media
Library won't open.

As you know, ATI is absolutely NO help is this matter, tells me to use
version > MMC 8.1 and wants me to pay $XX for tech supoort.

Has anyone had this problem with a recent version of MMC and know what
the workaround is?

did you run this past the ATI website faq/knowledgebase?
 
Of course!! That's why I have posted this here. Why? Did I miss
something in the faq/knowledge base? There are two cites in the FAQ
about this: 1. use MMC 8.1 or above, and 2.) use our tech assistance
at $39 per instance.
