ATI AIW 7500 problems

[Fiera]

I went out and bought an all in wonder 7500. Installed it, got everything working but when I tried to log into EverQuest or Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds I get a blue screen saying page_fault_in_nonpaged_area file name is awvid5.dll. I was able to get into Return to Castle Wolfenstein with no problems. making me think it's a DirectX problem. I'm running XP on an FIC SD11.
Anyone have any ideas?

I also get the same problem starting up Dark Age of Camelot.

I have an ATI AIW Radeon and I don't have a file awvid5.dll on my system at all. Could this possibly be remnants of your old videocard drivers? What drivers are you using? You should probably download the latest betas from ATI (6025) as they work well with the AIW cards.

I used to have an Asus 6800 Pure. I installed the drivers that came on the CD and after having the problems I upgraded to the beta drivers.

Google turns that file up as part of "PC Anywhere". Sound familiar?

I've got PCAnywhere 10.5 on there. Installed with all the rest of the software long before I switched video cards.
I saw a thread about PCAny but didn't find a resolution for the problem.
I don't think I have PCAny running as a service, but it might be. But why would that suddenly cause errors in D3D?

This is because PCAnywhere messes with the screen drivers somehow, same thing happens with NVida boards as well. Perhaps there's an update for PCA over at Symantec?

At any rate, if you deinstall PCA it should fix the problem.

Definitely remove PCAnywhere and see if that resolves the situation. If it does, you might want to try reinstalling PCAnywhere and see if the problem still exists - it might not have problems if you do a clean install with the ATI drivers already present.
