Hi all - I'm a newbie to the Vista Beta program. I'm participating in the
Vista beta program at the request of my employer. I've been reading a lot
of posts in this and other Vista forums, several of which have helped me
solve some minor issues. So far my biggest challenge was getting a
compatible antivirus installed. I opted for the McAfee 8.x beta because it's
the only one that would install and update correctly.

In the last couple of days, however, it appears my display adapter has not
been functioning properly when I view videos with Windows Media Player. I
keep getting a message that the "...R30 Display adapter stopped
responding...and has been recovered...". My screen will "black-out" and
then reappear when this occurs. I can even restart and run Windows Media
Player as if nothing happened. The problem first appeared using the
Microsoft driver and it still appears after updating to ATI's beta display
adapter. I'm using Vista on a Dell Inspriron 6000 with the ATI Radeo X300
display driver, running 1680 x 1050 resolution.

If anyone has any suggested workarounds, troubleshooting suggestions it
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Dennis
 
This sounds more of a Driver Issue.. Have you contacted Ati.com via an email
explaining your problem?
