Trouble with driver/graphics card
I have an ATI Radeon EAX1600 Pro 256MB DDR2 PCI Express graphics card and an open GL hardware…I’ll admit, I’m not 100% up on everything, so I may be missing something simple. Is it that my card is not compatible with my driver?…where can I download a compatible one? When I try to play a clip in the preview monitor, or in the SEQ, it goes black. yet I hear audio. I can scroll through the clip, fast forward/rewind and see it, but not during actual playback…whats wrong?
Thanks for anything you can offer.

What version software are you using? What are your system specs? How much memory do you have?
More input, please…IF you are on a PC, and AXP HD software, you might find this interesting (it’s from the Avid website)…
Minimum PC System Specifications for Avid Xpress Pro
Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2
QuickTime 7.0.3
1 GB system memory minimum, 2 GB recommended for HD or high-stream count SD projects
Dual or Single 2.4 GHz Xeon processor OR Pentium 4 1.6 GHz processor OR Pentium M 1.8 GHz processor (mobile configurations)
Qualified graphics card (per model, as supported by system vendors)1
Qualified IEEE-1394 FireWire port (integrated or add-in card2 ; Mojo is not supported on notebook systems with PCMCIA cards of any kind)
40 GB or larger internal IDE drive3
DVD-ROM or DVD+RW drive
1 The following specific cards have been tested by Avid: NVidia QuadroFX 1400 PCI Express, NVidia QuadroFX 1300 PCI Express, Nvidia QuadroFX 1100 AGP 8X, NVidia QuadroFX 500 AGP 8X or NVidia Quadro4 980 XGL AGP 8X. Note: Although supported, use of the NVIDIA Quadro 4 980 XGL in a dual-monitor configuration may result in performance degradation during tasks such as scratch removal, auto color correction, or general color correction when the safe color warnings are enabled, or using the eyedropper to select colors in Effect Mode. Single monitor systems with an NVIDIA Quadra 4 980 XGL perform properly.It appears your card isn’t qualified…
