  MC 2.6.6, Boot Camp and Radeon X1900?

  Posted by Jaap Verdenius on February 18, 2008 at 2:36 pm

  Is there anyone who has success running Media Composer 2.6.6 under Boot Camp with a Radeon X1900 card?
  After a clean install I just can’t get it to work, it launches with an ominous “Exception! a serious error has occurred!” message; and then Timeline and Composer windows can’t be resized, keep disappearing, etc etc.
  I tried LegacyOverlay in the Console – now the message had disappeared but all the other symptoms are still there…

  I wondered if the Radeon card is the problem as Avid is much more with nVidia.

  Any help greatly appreciated

  Won’t work. Avid on Windows needs NVidia video card. This is because of the slight variation on the implementation of OpenGL between NVidia and ATi.
