hi, this is what XFX are saying:
[ 11/4/2010 9:58:51 AM] Hi, there is now a new problem, i was running XP SP3 and all of a sudden whenever i started to watch youtube videos it would crash or reboot, i tried everything from reinstalling java/flash to reformatting the pc but nothing, this means everything webpage that has a video on it would also crash the pc. i installed windows 7 on the same pc and even though the 10.10 hotfix said it had installed fine windows was giving me a code 43 error (in device manager) going back to the original problem i had. I read on a forum about people manually trying to install the drivers but this didnt work from me. I also read somewhere to try a different web browser so reinstalled XP again but this did not work. Is this card knackerd....
[JAMES 11/4/2010 4:41:14 PM] Hi Barry, can you try try to `disable the hardware acceleration by right clicking on the video´s screen and click on properties, for example on a youtube video, and let us know if this helps? kind regards, james.

[ 11/4/2010 7:30:20 PM] is this the best GFX i can get for agp ?
[PAULV 11/5/2010 3:25:37 PM] Hi Barry. Currently this is the only AGP card we supply. There are no plans for future releases as the bus is simply too slow for modern OS`s like Vista and Win7 other brands may supply them, but ATI nor Nvidia are looking to go down that route im afraid. Hope all goes well, however if any queries or problems please keep us posted. Kind regards Paul

[JAMES 11/8/2010 11:48:23 AM] Hi Barry, got this from another forum: `OK. Although I had done this before, I tried again removing all traces of the ATI driver in safe mode and rebooting. I opened Device Manager, right-clicked on the VIA CPU to AGP Controller, and chose to update the driver automatically. A new driver was installed, from where I don`t know for sure. I then manually updated the Standard VGA driver to the ATI AGP hotfix` The hotfix has been released several times, but unsure if it is appropriate for this issue, but i will link the page and you can assess this for yourself.
