Yep, this is an Xpert 128 ATI Rage card. OS is 2000 Pro. The video playback was great in windows 98 but now in 2000, I'm getting black and white and no colors. I have tried using PowerDVD XP and the ATI DVD player but with the same results. I ran the ATI DVD comp. test and it says that DIRECTDRAW was installed incorrectly and no WDM INF file was found. This happened on a fresh install, tried reinstalling the drivers both from the retail CD and from ATI's fine site. , and Direct 8.1 with no luck. Am I SOL? :( :bang head

BTW, DMA is enabled for all the other drives. 533 celeron and 448mb ram. PLayback is smooth but no color.
