hIHi,
Per the message (see below), I do have those issues which surfaced when
MAGIC was added.
I have the OEM version ofthe Ati Radion but tough luck for me.
MAGIC usage will be difficult with JAWS which is not exactly what I
brgained for when I took advice per the ATI video cards.
I say this to potential ATI video card buyers.
The Freedom Scientific TSN still applies! My system was built 8 months
ago and I have lots of processor speed and 1 gig of Ram.
The choices I have is change video card or never use MAGIC and JAWS.
