Hey folks,

My computer is hanging when I try to run a game in window mode (like Warcraft or Oblivion). It also freezes when I try to use the ATI Catalyst Control Center and select the 3D options. I downloaded ATI Tools and when I choose "Show 3D View", it hangs as well. It seems like I can't run 3d graphics in window mode. Anyone have this kind of problem and know of a solution?

My specs are:
ATI Athlon 64 3000
Shuttle SN25P
Sapphire Radeon 1800XT 256mb
2 Gig DDR 400 RAM
updated drivers for all hardware

Thanks!
