The fix is to move the hardware acceleration down one notch.
If you don't know where that is read below:
There's a milliona ways to get here, here's one:
Right click on your desktop
Click on Properties
Click on Settings Tab
Click on Advanced (Bottom Right)
Click on Troubleshooting Tab
Move the Hardware Acceleration slider down one notch.
You may have to reboot. I would reboot just in case.
This is from memory, but it should be right. Let us know if it works, can't test it right now.

I think this is correct...if it doesn't work try disabling hardware acceleration altogether.
Zombie:
turning down hardware acceleration did the trick.
all ok now. thanks!!
Zombie:
well almost,
now it wont display low res/non interlaced resolutions with the lowered Hardware Accelration.
nothing to do, guess i might install WinXP for playing Video files only and keep the existing Win98 for Arcade. Dual OS is allways nice in case one of them craps out.
guess this card is meant only for Arcade/MAME and does a great job for sure!!.
would be nice with a fix though, maybe in new drivers somthing.
Howard_Casto:
Upgrade to xp, 98 is not media friendly and you shouldn't be using it at this point. Your problem involves the ati drivers... the 7000 came out when xp was established and therefore all ati hardware and software beyond that point favors xp. You will continue to have various problems with certain directx and directshow (what renders video) applications until you upgrade.
