ATI X600 PRO TV hangs up

I have seen some threads describing how the ATI X600 Pro card will cause the system to hang up and require a total system reboot.
When I bought my ATI x600 Pro board, plugged it in and loaded the software, it worked great. My problems started when I had a total system meltdown and I had to reinstall Windows XP Pro. I first loaded Windows XP PRO and got ALL of the updates from the Microsoft WEB site. I was prompted by the Microsoft web site if I wanted to download the ATI drivers. (Don't do it. I did and I think -- but am not sure -- that this started the problem.) Then I completed installing the remainder of the software.
When I tried to watch TV, the software would hang up, the TV would just freeze. I could still use other programs but the TV was frozen on the monitor. The only help was to do a total system reboot.
After actually speaking to a living person at ATI who was helpful, my problem still wasn't solved. So, I entered a trouble ticket on ATI's problem resolution site. The first response I got was just about what the guy at ATI told me to do. So, I sent in another trouble ticket and told them the type of mother board I had (ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe) and the operating system (Windows XP PRO)and everything else I could think of.
Then, the magic occurred. I got a response that told me that I should uninstall all ATI software and they gave me detailed instructions on how to do it. Then they said to download and install Catalyst 6.10 and Multimedia Center 9.14. (There is a Multimedia Center 9.15 as well, however I continued to follow their directions.) Anyway, things didn't work as I had expected. So, I got the original installation disk for my ATI card and reinstalled the software. THEN, I installed Catalyst 6.10 and Multimedia Center 9.14. There are 4 parts to MMC 9.14. You need to install these in the order that they are listed in ATI's web site. One of the four downloads is optional. Anway, after I did all of this, everything worked fine.
Incidentally, the answer that ATI sent me in response to my second trouble ticket was much more detailed that the first.
As an after thought, there may be something about some XP update that is not compatible with older versions of the ATI software. I don't know this for sure.
All I know is that I followed the new instructions and now my ATI card works. Of course, the first thing I watched was K State beat Texas. Oh, well, at least my ATI card is working.
Poor Support from ATI

This card seems to be a fair graphics provider. My TV tuner worked for awhile then began to hang after running for about half an hour. Tried ATI customer care. They couldn't help and suggested filling an RMA with warranty service section. That's OK but they wanted at least a 10 day turnaround for a new card. I work from home and can't have my machine down that long. They should have a swap-out program or at least return to dealer. This is my last ATI purchase!
