gi7omy Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Did you update your video drivers and install the latest DirectX 9.0c from Microsoft? Although you have an Asus card, it's actually an ATI one modified by Asus, but drivers are available here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gi7omy Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Did you try the Asus drivers from the link I mentioned? As I said, the card was modified by Asus (some of the chips have a different i/d number) and you may need to use the Asus set rather than the referefnce ATI ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdanteek Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Although you have an Asus card, it's actually an ATI one modified by Asus Asus built the card with ATI chipset technology. No different than any company building a Nvidia card, with Nvidia chipset technology. cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 It shouldn't be different - but some of the ATI drivers won't work because the ident number on the chips is different: "...# you can install the newest ati-chipset driver, BUT it won't find your card (in my case Asus X850XT) # BECAUSE: ASUS branded their chips (which are ATI chips of course) with another ChipID than the original ATI-Chipset ..."

cdanteek Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Somethings on a ATI content driver cd will only install on a Built by ATI card. Built by ATI is what it says. Other products that call themselves ATI, say "fueled by ATI" or "powered by ATI". cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steen Pallesen Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Yes - I have now also installed the recommended driver from ASUS: ati82034_w2kxp.zip Still the same... BUT by coincident, I selected a another random mp3 file that didnt bring Videowave to not responding. It actually worked perfect!?!?!!. When I try other MP3's than this one now working - Videowave goes into "Not responding" mode. My procedure is this: Click add background music. Select an mp3 file Click play story If nothing happens imidiately, I right click on the music part in the story line (to the left) and select "delete" - this makes Videowave not chrash. - If I dont do anything then Videowave doesnt chrash. But if I move the blue slider over the music part then it chrashes. Likewise if I select play story, Videowave chrashes (not responding) I have one out of thousands of mp3's that does work ?!?!?! I have tried to see if there is anything special about this particular mp3 (bit rate, kbs etc) it is all the same as 99% of all my other mp3 files. Could it be that Videowave somehow "remembers" this particular mp3 and then can't play others ?!! It does seems like it has not anything to do with video driver then ?!

Best regards Steen Pallesen Convert the mp3 files to wav files and try again. Use Sound Editor to do the conversion if you have it. Since you are not in the US, the DRM probably doesn't affect you but if the music file has DRM protection, you cannot use that music directly in the program.
