Radeon 8500LE 64Mb weird problem - HELP!

Hi,
so I finally got my new R8500 working with the new ATI driver, but two weird problems came up.

1. If I connect my Svideo output to my TV, I am not able to boot up properly(I am running on windows 2000pro). I can get to the start-up screen, "Windows 2000 build on NT technology" then my screen just shows nothing. So I have to unplug my svideo connection everytime I want to boot up my computer, and it's pretty annoying.

2. When I do boot into windows 2000, my norton antivirus is automatically disabled. I can't enable it, and it worked fine with my old video card. I don't understand how the hell could a new video card affect the antivirus program. I did see an error when I first installed the video card and boot into windows, it gives me an error like "not enough memory, norton antivirus disabled" I have 512 MB of RAM and I even disabled the ATI start-up crap so I can save memory, but I still can't enable norton antivirus.

Does anyone have any suggestions to my problems?

thanks in advance,
Benson
 
Okay, first check your Virtual Memory make sure that is set correctly I don't know if Win2K has problems with Virtual Mem like 98 had. Next I would try reinstalling your Anti-Virus software. After that I would send an e-mail to ATI pertaining to the S-Video BullSh*t. I know e-mailing ATI isn't fun (i've done it before) but that sounds really wierd.
