Video Driver not supported in Windows XP media center 2005

[Guest]

I recently purchased a new PC running Windows XP media center edition 2005
and also an ATI All in wonder 9800 Pro video card.

The video card drivers all installed properly but my problem is with the
media center software for XP that seems to be in conflict with the ATI card.

Everytime I launch the media center softwatre in XP to either load my X-Box
extender kit software or set up my preferences I get a video card not
supported messages and can not continue.

In reviewing the ATI web site I learned that the All in wonder card is not
supported on the XP media center OS but since I recently forked out a small
fortune I was hoping there is a workarround....

Has anyone come accros this or could anyone think of a workarround?

Thanks

Well, if it isn't supported (which when paying for MC), you should have inquired if that card was compatible. Return the hardware (card) and get your money back.

Interpretation of Tom's reply: I don't have a ****ing clue, but I'll bleat
away that it sure as shit can't be a problem with my Masters OS.

No. If ATI can't write a good driver for that card, and MCE, it's beyond
reason to expect that someone else might do it.
