I don't doubt you or your problems, but FS has been known to give out
wrong answers to folks over the phone (or via email, I'm certainly one
of the recipients).

I'd like to hear if we have any users of jaws/magic with ATI radeon
cards on this list.

 it's been my experience that FS has no real idea why some systems crash
with video card errors (and changing the video card solves the problem),
while other systems with the same video card work fine.  There are
simply too many of us here using the ATI radeon series for there to be a
general problem with them.  It appears that FS has a very specific set
of circumstances that cause them a problem that they don't seem to be
able to identify (at least, that's how I see it).
